At PwC, if you think your utilization is low and want to ask for more work, who do you reach out to, RL or HR?
And is it worth asking to be booked on something if you are only available for 2 weeks?

stop. Take 2 weeks and just breathe. They will learn for themselves and you will work nonstop

Both. Your deployment consultant in HR is your best bet.

Don't reach our to the deployment people, ever. They'll just put you on that one shitty job that's struggling because the team or client is terrible or they have some deadline coming up. If it's only two weeks, just get all your trainings done and do some for those digitalization badges or something.

I’m struggling. I left an agency I liked last year due to growth limitations and since then I’ve worked at 2 different agencies and can’t seem to find my footing. The first one seemed like a good fit at first but then it turned out to not be the best place for me so I left. At my current agency I feel super undervalued. I’m always raising my hand and offering to help where I can and no matter what I do, I don’t feel utilized or valued or part of the team.It’s really taken a toll on my confidence

Busy season was rough, things are looking better now as things return to normal. Still working crazy hours if you count the daycare duties on top of utilization targets.
