Does anyone know of any firms that have a dedicated "IP Commercializations" practice? (i.e. digging through clients patents to see what is un/under utilized but could be monetized)

I'm 6 months old at D! Planning early promotion next year.. counselor and pm both are backing me.. I need to go to India for at least 4 weeks in Dec ... most probably would be rolling off from current project by then .. would this vacation hurt my promotion chances coz of utilization etc?

Hadn’t noticed this sub before, and most of the threads are old so thought I’d ask a follow up - how has everyone been handling parenting with public accounting? I’ve got a toddler and my wife is an accountant (industry), and we only have a few immediate family in the country- but they have health concerns. 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.

What is the longest you have seen someone with less than 50% utilization stay in a firm?

How do I say to my counselor, "be prepared to see a big fall of my utilization because of things out of my control" without sounding like complaining or having a lot of negativity?

Wooohoo just landed a data project! Woohoo data! Data runs the world! Hello super high utilization! Hello cushy bonus! 🙌🏽

When they say utilization doesn't count for the month of May/June what exactly does that entail? I'm assuming being on the bench for those months will still show on personal utilization reports...

This just in: Uncle Ernie telling us how shitty of a year we had and that they're stripping our firm-wide holidays so that we can be utilized more and reach our vision 2020 goals!

Anyone afraid to take vacation in FY18, for fear of missing utilization? 🙋🏼🙋🏼‍♂️

Have an offer from AWS for an L7 Principal PMT role: $215k base + $275k sign on bonus for Year 1 and $215k for year 2 + 5100 RSUs (@ $130 / share).
