I’m not going to hit 1950 this year, largely because I took time off for my wedding and honeymoon. I’ve been aiming to get over 1800, but could potentially push harder and get closer to 1850. I would be below the bonus threshold either way.
My question for people involved in associate reviews: is there actually a material difference in how 1,810 vs. 1,850 would be viewed?
EDIT: To answer some of the comments, my billable year ends in October. I’m a mid level doing transactional work and have never taken off more than a week in one billable year prior to this year. All of my deals closed or died a week or two before I went out, and the group was slow when I returned so there was a longer ramp up period than anticipated. I’ve been billing over 230 for a few months to try to at least hit 1800 and am not turning down any work.
