20% 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.

The 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.

Sorry 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).

no 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
