I had 2500 hours chargeable as a S1. Tax reform has been a pitch and the firm hasn’t done a good job teaching it to the staff/seniors so a lot of managers and PPMDs come to me to help review “this small thing” or that

That’s light.

If direct is the same as billable, I’m at 1875.

Direct hours? Can I get a definition please

You have time to post on FB! Clearly not working that hard :)

Sorry OP - that is a lot of hours. Hang in there

2099

Not sure when your year end is but I had 2400 chargeable for this year. Not sure what the indirect hours were but I definitely have some. this was my worst year so far 🤷‍♂️- I usually try to come in right on target.

1975. With grad school and taught 3 cpe classes

2378 — it’s been a rough year for me

Oh my, now i feel better hearing these numbers haha.

Would hate to work for AS1. You subscribe to the fallacy that no matter how bad this job gets in the end it’s what you signed up for. I disagree with that entirely. No one signs up for working 80hr weeks. Yes it can get rough but poor resource/deployment mgmt is the issue here, not PA itself.

Damn! 2000+ hours man. I do almost 1800 every year and I thought that's hard work

1900 chargable / 3100 total as a director.

Thanks tax reform!
