Been in a FDD position for a month or so and my utilization is at approx 33%. I came in from audit so this is completely new to me. Is this bad?

Completely normal. You’re literally still learning the job. You should expect your utilization to continue to rise over time

Normal to have a ramp-up period.

I was in the same boat in September 2021 and then I got bent over after the new year and I am not exceeding my utilization target.

OP do you have work? My director told me to just book to admin for the bulk of my day so I don’t mess with the realization (mostly bc I’ll take much longer and somebody will need to go over it). Nobody seems to check utilization from what I’ve heard.

Is now a good or bad time to move? I’m a financial analyst with 5 YOE (3 in manufacturing, 2 in Saas). I’ve been asking for promotion for almost a year now in my current company. Finally, my new manager and all the leaders on the team are supportive of my promotion. However, he said due to budget issue, my promotion probably won’t go thru during this cycle (August), but they will make sure it go thru in Feb ’23. If I get offered SFA role outside, should I consider? Or stay?
