Try being a lawyer.... 16 hours days standard and when you are being charged out at $500 / hour (and receiving maybe 20% of that) your boss isn't expecting 4 hours of real work and 12 hours of admin... they want 16 hours of extreme concentration. Gotta be one of the worst careers you can choose.
- ClassicFarris 12y agoThe OP was talking about 16h weeks. Not 16h days. I can certainly feel for you if you're the one working 16h days week in and week out.
- mdotk 12y agoSorry got that, was more replying to the guys saying that in your average 8-10 hour day you'll only do 4 hours of intense work anyway (so that a 4 hour "actual work" day is kinda normal).
- jqm 12y ago20% of $500 an hour is a pretty solid salary. Especially if you are putting in 16 hour days. I would expect to give a little blood for that kind of money.
- walshemj 12y agono they want 16 hours of billable time :-) that fact that for those 12 hours you put down as reading case notes you spent 1 of them arranging your holiday and 1 gossiping is neither hear nor there
