There's 3000+ hrs in work for me. I'm finally pushing back a bit and limiting what I take on.

What would you do if you were in my situation?

I don't mind working but is like at least 75-100$ per hour billed

you should get 30-33% of your collections. so if you bill at $175 per hour, that's $150,000 a year you should be making.

Honestly your billing rate is too low and if you work in shitlaw where they cant increase it, then you should have less overhead and drive up what you keep.

I do and it is bad. That's why your rate needs to go up or you need to work less.

I bill at just over $400 per hour so I would make quite a bit of money billing 2500 hours. I'm a 6th/7th year.

KC rates are low, man, even at big regional firms. Like a Polsinelli 4th year would bill at $200 in KC vs. $300 in Phoenix.

What's your plan? Is this just how it is for those of us not in big time firms and no option to lateral up to big law? This is really an unsustainable lifestyle. I find myself giving two shits when I'm being forced to work this much.

Little to none.

What sucks is that I'm making 128-130k for 2500 hrs but the bros at Susman are pulling in 300k for the same hrs. Not to mention that at partnership, susman attys are looking at 800k/yr. I'm looking at the same compensation model plus MAYBE a 10k bump. So I'm looking at a life making <$175,000 unless I'm really a rainmaker.
