You must be new here. You never do not get boned by Uncle D.

Easy D!

Forget utilization. All that matters is getting the number of billable hours to hit your target. Period

That's fucked

So I found there is actually JDY. Wondering if it adjusts my utilization so I don't get boned. Otherwise I'll just take like 7 weeks of PTO

PTO also decreases your utilization, I think

It does but I'm asking if JDY adjusts my required client service hours. As in would 1 week of JDY move my requirement from 1850 to 1810 for the year? Certain codes do this but they don't explain.

Yup- D4 is right. If they made those adjustments for everyone, it would be very hard to track

Correct - you will get screwed by jury duty if you can't work and bill hours. A few weeks ago I almost got put on a two week murder trial. Was so thankful my juror number didn't get called and I could go back to work.

like

Hmm I ended up getting a reply from my resource manager who said that the hours of JDY are reduced from your client hour target for the year. It sounds like we actually don't get hurt by it.

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.

I have a Deloitte PDM offer. I’ve read about the positives/negatives and I’m so torn. When my recruiter says I’ll have “144 hours” of PTO (18 days), will I definitely still run into the utilization trap of not being able to take it? Are all projects 40-42 hr weekly caps? Third question: I’m new in the DC area, are PDMs invited to firm socials? Trying to make friends! Thanks in advance
