Do MBB analysts have to worry about utilization criteria the same way as other firms? Ours is 95% and hitting it seems like a baseline for good ratings

Pretty MBB doesn’t have utilization as an actual measurable #

No

There is no hard utilization number for BA, ASC or EM

No utilization requirements or considerations until you make associate partner for the typical integrative consulting pathway.

Expert consulting can be different, I don’t know much there to comment.

Think about it this way. If I sell a project for $3M and can complete it with a few people for a few weeks that costs me $2M, why would I throw more cost at it? Driving utilization would create a perverse incentive.

But you hear it all the time. “big4 shows up with 5x the people as [MBB]”

Expert path here. Utilization has never been stressed to me. Making an impact has.

Not really

It’s just a signal of demand

Not for consultants and below

Office utilization is only a threshold that determines whether managers also get profit share

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.
