Job? Really?

ADVERTISEMENTS

I had the opportunity to interview this morning. Nice firm, great opportunity, but I don't have the litigation experience I think they're looking for. I've never really had the opportunity to do litigation, even as a paralegal, so I can't really lie about it. At least I wasn't requested to provide a transcript. I hate when that happens. Anyway, I have a question for those of you out there who work in larger firms. Is 2,000 hours billable do-able? I realize there are people who have no problems with working 12 hours days, 6 days a week, but this isn't exactly a firm that would have struck me for such a high requirement. I'm not sure if I can do that. Never mind that I have no idea what the pay is, so that may make the decision for me, but I just want to have an idea what it's all about. Will I ever play golf again? Will I ever be able to go home? It may be all a moot point anyway, but I just wanted to know.
