How many hours would you be okay billing for no bonus?

Post by Anonymous User » Wed Feb 26, 2020 1:07 pm

I’m a 4th year who is basically done but my situation isn’t horrible and I’m gonna try and cruise for as long as possible until I find a worthwhile in house gig.

To that end, how many hours would you say is “worth it” for no bonus? 1700? 1800? It’s a lot of money, but then again I’m having a sub-100 month and it feels good.

Seems like if you bill 1700-1800, you might as well try to do 200-300 extra for $65,000. I am not sure it makes much sense to get that close otherwise.

I think less than 1800 and probably closer to 1700 is the goal. Once you get over 1800 that is not slacking anymore and close enough that you might as well get the bonus
