Any day that we are not chargeable hurts our utilization. Simple.

And then they ask why there is only 50% participation this year...?

like

Not sure, but I'd guess so since it is an internal code. If I had to guess, it is probably taken into account with utilization like holidays.

Technically, yes.

Yes

Yeah they give you a diff charge code for impact day which does not give you utilization. Burn

Yeah, it would if you don't work at least 40 hours Monday to Thursday....

@D4 many projects will ask you to request specific permission to bill more than 36 hours (9x4) on a week with a firm holiday or IMPACT Day

Yes

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.

Hi! I’m doing some research on employee benefits (medical insurance, 401k, HSA/FSA, commuter benefits) and was hoping to connect with People specialists or HR professionals in the comp & benefits space.

At any level above Senior, how do u manage the relationship between utilization and realization, which is an inverse relationship. Seems to be either blow the budget (and write it off), or eat a lot of time.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
