Does Deloit fire for low utilization with high performance? Got rolled off during holidays and not able to get any project and now I might end performance year with 70% utilization. Am I in trouble?

I don’t think there is anyone who will be labeled a superstar by leadership... there are so many like us at their disposal.

Same boat. Have been on bench since Oct. Great project reviews though.

My counselor was constantly in the loop when they were available. My challenge was that my counselor was going for promotion to principal so she was pretty tied down but she gave me all the advice I just gave you. Be willing to go outside your exact field and be adaptable. Also be more flexible with your travel. I did all that but came up just a little too short.

Talk to your coach. Low utilization can sometimes be excused, you need to shape the narrative

Help me understand something fundamental about altcoins.

Also in terms of seniority and salary are these roles any different?

How does one learn how to evaluate new cases?
