Can someone explain how billable hours work? At a new agency and although I had to fill timesheets at my previous agencies, they were mainly used to ensure we weren’t over servicing a client/for setting the appropriate retainer for contract renewals. I asked ppl at my agency but haven’t gotten a proper explanation. I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .

How do I say to my counselor, "be prepared to see a big fall of my utilization because of things out of my control" without sounding like complaining or having a lot of negativity?

So who else is at Hilton Orlando this week?

Anybody in here move from Big 4 straight out of undergrad to MBB within 2 years? I’ve heard contrasting opinions about how realistic the move is, so I’m looking for more insights.

Ex-Deloitter here. My goal is to finish working across ALL of the Big 4, and then post-MBA at ALL of the MBB. Will I be considered a flight risk or will I garner the Thanos level respect I deserve?

If you had to take a shot every 20 minutes, how far into a workday could you make it until you were visibly drunk? Assuming a 9am start time. I think I could make it until 1pm.

For anyone using US government statistics in models, apparently: all statistics that look good pre-Jan 20 are fake, as are all statistics that look bad post-Jan 20. Please update models accordingly.

One thing they don't prepare you for when you're getting into advertising is the extent to which being a cheerleader propels you. I'm not a misanthrope, but I'm definitely not naturally wired for cheerleading and it for sure has had an adverse impact on my career.

Can someone help me understand why people are pumping crazy money into DoorDash and AirBnb but didn’t go equally Gaga for Palantir?
Don’t get me wrong, I like DD and Airbnb, but the $100+/share seems odd to me given that both are susceptible to regulatory and overall consumer confidence. I was able to buy into PLTR for $11/ share fwiw and think that company has better long-term upside prospects.
But again, would love to better understand the DASH and ABNB mania. Feel like I’m missing something
