Can whoever the bowl leader is please permanently pin a post that explains backdoor Roth IRA and mega backdoor Roth?

The amount of questions in here lately about these (or mixing them up) has been so high and people don’t seem to know about search function.

What is a good ratio of billable hours to total hours?

Obviously the "ideal" is 100%, but as the junior attorney at a small firm, I'm do the guy taking all the prospective client cold calls, and it can seriously cut into my day.

Rarely miss sending reports on time, but some of the clients request updates every 20-30 days.
