Tough situation — Ideally, if your utilization is low at year end, your resource and that Partner can explain why you had to go un-billed and it will not affect your review.
In the future, you should reach out to your resource manager right away and may be they can push back saying they have a billed opportunity for you and/or get another Partner with a billed project to “claim you”, but, at the end of the day, you can’t really disobey a Partner’s request to have you on their project.
Wow… there’s a lot many tricks of the trade that I need to learn…

Depends on why you're not billable yet. If it's because the project is confirmed but the partner is still waiting for a signed SOW, this is pretty normal and you should treat it like a billable project. You'll get the hours on the code once the code comes through when the sow is signed.
If it's because the project will never be billable, that's a different story.

It really depends.
Sometimes there's week 0 work that's not billable, it's just prep work (this doesn't mean you don't bust your ass doing it). You wouldn't recoup this, but it's a normal part of doing business. In the long run this won't really impact you.
Other times, when there's a delay getting the SOW signed (someone is out of town and can't sign immediately, debate over some of the finer points, etc.) But there's a general commitment from both parties to proceed, the project will go ahead. Once everything is signed and you have the project code, you'll go back and update your hours.
Other times, it's just never going to be billable because they've decided to give it away to the client. This is the one you don't want to be on.
You can try to get on something short term or do BD work.
If the “used” you for research, pre-work, etc., get a snapshot from them describing your contribution. No need to fight over two days, but just be careful in the future.
Ask around if someone is looking for filling a position, work with them and get a charge code.
I disagree? If you have a billable opportunity elsewhere that always takes precedence.. if you are in doubt ask your line manager.
Depends on the firm and the team
But ill say for the projects i manage - this isnt what we usually do. It happens sometimes for projects w quick turn arounds or urgent timelines but be careful you dont burn too many hours before the engagement happens.
And if you do, make sure the hours you worked get counted as billable so your performance metrics arent impacted.
Also feel free to follow up w the partner or career team, things slip through the cracks at places all the time.
So we have internal charge codes for work thats being done. This is different than the admin code. Again it depends on the structure of the project youre on. Some are more complex than others administratively.
Id follow up w the guy, if he told you about a manager on the project follow up w them. And see what / how best to get your work counted.

Billable work is king. Get your RM and coach involved now and keep your talent group lead informed.
This is literally the type of tactics they used to hold resources and get work done for free.
