Hi fishes, what are the chances of Pwc AC rescinding an offer, given the market condition. The offer letter I have received seems to be generic and doesn't look it is for a specific project. The role seems to be generic. I am a little hesitant, specially because of HR's behaviour who doesn't seem to care responding to my queries and ignores all my emails and calls. Any advice?

Lol calculate it out yourself
Now I understand why we're able to charge more.
This is math
Can you seriously not figure out how to calculate this yourself? A full week is 40 hours and there's 52 weeks. All non working business days count against utilization. Also we bill 45's so gain a bit of utilization every week. Now go make yourself a mini model.
Shit OP. Even KPMG could figure this one out
@McK1 I swear this is not representative
I don't want to be a part of our firm anymore
Not trying to be a jerk, but all the tools you need (Excel spreadsheet) to see the effect of PTO/bench on your utilization can be found on Deloittenet... Search for Utilization Toolkit. Or calculate it manually. Standard Utilization hours in a year is 2080.
I am going to make "Do you know how to calculate utilization?" one of my standard interview questions. Make Deloitte great again!
Use the Utilization Toolkit on Deloittenet and figure it out for yourself?
If I remember correctly, every week on the beach / PTO roughly lowers utilization by 2-3%
40/(52*40) = 1.9% a week
Man!!! Apologies for asking! I calculated taking into consideration my planned PTO, Labor Day weekend, Christmas and expected downtime and landed at a cushion of 3-4 weeks. When I looked at deloittenet it said my projected utilization at the end of this period will be 73% which really did not tally with my estimate so decided to ask. Have a feeling that it would have been a much easier conversation face to face with someone. Therein lies my fallacy.... Apologies again. All of you are hella smart!
I'm not mad at him/her for not being able to figure out the calculations - I'm just mad they even want to figure it out in the first place. You're at 119% take a fucking chill pill and stay on the beach as long as you want. My friend and I have each gotten 1's with utils between 80% & 85% when our targets were 90%. They don't *really* care about it, they mostly just use it as a scare tactic to keep people busy / staffed
@A1, deloittes calculation is pretty terrible. Even PTOs count negatively. I have a figure in mind (3 weeks as per my calculations) but still just wanted to get another idea
Every single M-F counts. So the denominator is just Total Weeks This Year * 40
So you can go like 15 weeks

LOL everyone is so mean. I mean I thought it but no need to pile on.... Like I'm doing right now....
Lol this is hilarious.. so when you were a lead, did you have the analysts write your emails too?
