<human>: I've interviewed for a copy-editing job with a company that works based on billable hours. I would be paid a (ridiculously high) salary, but a bonus is based on the number of billable hours I record, and employees are expected to work at LEAST 45 hours a week, but more likely 50 to 55 hours a week. There are also situations in which I'd be expected to work nights and weekends.

Here's the catch: I shadowed a current employee early in the interview process and the job seems incredibly easy, and it seems as if one of the reasons people put in so many billable hours in this position is because they aren't working as efficiently as they could (not using hot keys, unnecessary formatting by hand, etc.).

So, I'm confused. People who work billable hours: Does this mean I will be punished for my efficiency? Or does this make me more valuable because I'd be able to put billable hours on more clients?

I don't know if I've offered enough information to allow people of Reddit to offer me advice or feedback.

Can you provide a brief overview of the text?
<bot>: A job opportunity works on billable hours, but current employees aren't as efficient as I think I'd be in the position. Will my efficiency be a drawback?
