Yeah, we all know. That’s not unpopular.
Well about half the comments so far are against what I said, so at the very least it isn't a super popular opinion haha

I have billed as much as 2400 and as little as 1650. To me, 2000 feels busy and strained. 1900 is busy but not strained. 2100+ is the pace that makes me want to quit being a lawyer.

The New York State bar came out with a report recommending that law firms cap billable hours to 1800
Subject Expert
Yeah and people freaked
2000 is not hard at all if the work is there.

Also depends on what kind of work. Not all billable hours are created equal.

I can just hear the partners saying “Your base compensation is more than sufficient to compensate you for your work. Bonuses are earned for extraordinary performance.” 🤮
So did I get blocked, or did this comment get dirty deleted?? Haha

Trash
Y’all are getting bonuses at 2000?
Bill more.
1900 is our requirement and frankly I chose my firm over 2 others because their billable min was 1950 … 1800/1850 would be sweet but here i am billing 2200
Agreed
