Book the PTO and don’t worry about utilization, there are more important things in life than having to worry about a stupid % they keep shoving down our throats.

like

Depending on circumstances, don’t take PTO when on bench

like

There is a general expectation you’re billing other codes (to push internal firm initiatives). It’ll also be a red flag if you aren’t aligned with peers (all of which can have the same consequences as missing utilization targets).

What happens honestly if you don’t hit utilization target? Just started and had vacation booked already. Cleared it during negotiations and recruiter said it wouldn’t be an issue but I am getting worried now

like

Yes

Only if you’re taking PTO when you could be billing client hours. Taking PTO while on the bench has no effect

But do not do this, for obvious reasons
