Shit that's 10.6 hours a work day (Assuming you take off roughly a week for the holidays). Lets bear down brothers.

When does your year end? Ours closed on Halloween. Weird, but meh.

I'm just now starting on the billable budget thing,and am trying to come up with a system of checkpoints through out the year to stay on track. Any advice for the n00bs?

So who do you bill for all the time you spend on TLS? I like to sprinkle it out amongst diff. clients but was wondering what TCR was on this...

Billable yr started Dec. 1 2013

At 1801 not counting 77.3 of nonbillable

Will probably be like 50 hrs short of 2000

Edit: whenever anyone says "bear down" I think of pooping

Are all of you at 2000 hour firms?

This actually might be a useful thread as there seems to be much misinformation out there about hours.

I am at 1881 since January 1, and that's with being on vacation from June 25 until July 21. I think the highest realistically i might see by year end is 2300.

1160 hours, not counting non-billable or client development.

Billable year started Jan. 1.

1932 billable
47 non-billable that count
112 non-billable that go into a black hole

This year sucks.

I'm pretty sure I'll get a bonus for hitting 1950, but it's not explicitly clear. Also I have 140 hours of bullshit first year credits in that 1606.

Other than the bonus nothing.

Just checked. 1719.85 as of Monday. Was on track for about 2400 at the end of July. Now I don't think I'll come even close to breaking 2000 given the long vacation planned for December, but glad I'm at a firm that doesn't care about hours for bonuses. Includes about 60 hours of pro bono that I don't care to try to separate out. Billable year starts Jan. 1.

As a first yr and with the nonbillable stuff that people asked me to do I'll probably still get a nice bonus

That was what happened w the assoc who started a yr before me

Sr assocs have told me not to worry

The sr assoc told me I'd be okay with like 1700-1800 and nonbillable

Providing market would be helpful as well

This isn't about teaching you how to bill. This about being in it man.

.

1st year, corporate work, V20. Hours started on January 1. Billed 2260 as of November 1 (30ish was pro bono) with no signs of slowing down. Not as bad as I thought it would feel but a vacation in December would be nice.

Just finished my first 12 months, billed 2350, not including some obnoxious number of hours of training time.

1st year, V20, litigation, hours started Jan 1. 1715 so far.

Can't wait to work for my firm with no minimum billable requirement.

(Guy who is going to be devastated to learn his firm enforces an unstated billable requirement)
