Deloitte 🐠 - anyone here in the Applied AI group? Looking for breakdown of how many hours on average I should expect to work per week on: A) client projects, B) internal projects/practice building, and C) anything else?

Coming in as a senior consultant / data science and consulting background.

Projects are either sold with an expectation of 40 hours a week, or 45 hours a week (historically most projects have been 45 a week). Utilization target is usually 90% for SCs in traditional track so ideally you want to be on projects that give 45 hours billable each week (because PTO after three weeks and any other charged time like firm initiatives counts against your utilization).

Practice building and firm initiatives are important before promotion to M, but you can get away with doing little in the first year. After that you can become an onboarding adviser for new hires or help with recruiting for some easy wins.

Well said

Hello there,
SC in AI and analytics here.
In general you'll have to spend 40 hours a week on client's work.
There's firm initiative hours that you need to spend, first year shouldn't be a must but highly recommended.

That's all the hours you'll need to spend unless otherwise you want to spend more hours.

Some projects are due soon, this is when you'll spend extra hours at work, these are considered towards your performance review but not compensated.

It's expected since day one, but for new hires it's not a weak point when you don't get one.

In my experience short term projects require extra hours usually

Just got on a new project and I have no idea what I’m doing. I’ve been asked to lead a group of developers that are older than me and I feel anxious.

I also feel anxious as I’m the only young person on the team. How does one cope?
