You have to realize if you're not billing everything counts against utilization

Since last year we count the first 3 weeks of PTO towards utilization, which should be more than enough to hit util metrics.

This is also only true for consulting, not advisory

I tried asking this in my own bowl with no responses, so seeing if other consultants have run into this situation. I’m on parental leave, I got an offer for another firm, great opportunity and pay.

Any things to consider besides potentially repaying the employer healthcare premium?

Fish who have been feds,

I have been stuck deciding between two offers (both in IC, but one is more program analysis -similar to consulting work but on the fed side, and actual analysis).

The program analysis offer is at a higher GS level and a more well known agency, but is not what I’m interested in.

Does anyone have any advice on how to make a decision? Go with what I want to do, or go with the more well known agency and higher gs?
