Okay some likes but no responds.
Some from me:
Work hard in front of people - it doesn’t matter whether you’re smart or work hard. You need influential people to notice this. So being visible (in the office frequently) and work hard and say yes is vital.

Appear approachable and put on a smile.

Be a Yeas-Man even if you know better. By nature I’m not such a one but British culture is about saying yes first and telling people what they want to hear. It’s better to say it requires more time later on than saying it upfront - even if your experience makes you aware of it earlier.

Don't take part.

Don't play. Do the right thing. Anything else will drive you mad

How many billable hours per week is considered at capacity? I’m getting pushback on boundaries I’m setting about additional matters and marketing work from my firm when I’ve been billing 60-75 hours per week for the last 6 weeks, and I’m still behind on my work. I feel like it’s reasonable to not kill myself further to fit in more/turn things around faster at this point, but am I being unreasonable? I expect my workload to remain at this level through the end of the year at least.
