Does the denominator for utilization rate take into account PTO? So if I am allowed 4 weeks of vacation time and (rounded) 10 holidays, is the denominator 2080 or 1840 (2080-80 for holidays - 200 PTO)?

It's beginning to look a lot like...extra hours because Utilization.

Yo momma so fat her standards are lower than my utilization rate.

Nothing gets me juiced like passing some schmuck on the utilization report.

First year BTA and I have 55% utilization and am still on the beach. Am involved in tons of initiatives and have constantly reached out to projects on GSS and just never hear back. How screwed am I?

Accenture Strategy Analysts - what's your utilization rate this year? I'm at 74%, been unstaffed for 8 weeks now and starting to get worried.

Welp. There goes my chance of reaching my utilization goal. #gth #takinourjobs #emptyARMS

What firms DO or DON'T have utilization metrics and targets that affect year end performance?

We stay until 8 or 9 everyday and then at the end of every week my manager tells me to book only 40 hours. It sucks ass and now I have to explain to my counselor why my utilization is so pedestrian...

Curious...currently at 60% utilization PY. Some things on the pipeline but I don't feel particularly confident that them. What's considered dangerously low? Genuine advice?

Bumble an acceptable use of my utilization hours?

Finished 1 year at Deloitte. BTA and worked on so many initiatives and PRD hours, networked like crazy but had 50% utilization. Counselor says with the economy and stuff, may be tough news ahead...

How does PTO and Holidays affect the utilization calculation at your firm?

No wonder I'm fuckin exhausted all the time. My counselor just told me that my utilization is 121% - with 3 weeks vacation built in...

Joining Deloitte on Monday. Sound like they want to send me to a few training bootcamps for analytics. Will attending these hurt my utilization rate, thus resulting in a poor end of year rating?

Deloitters, how do I check my standard utilization and adjusted utilization rates ?

I jst started with PwC ... How does charging G&A vs Vacation vs sick day affect your utilization? And what about this "paid time off"....Is that just vacation or is that another code we charge?

Been on the beach for almost 3 weeks and training next week. There goes my utilization! #kindofenjoyingbeachtimethough

Does PTO count against your utilization at your firm? Want to take all the PTO that I deserve but utilization is gonna suck 🙄

When you become OCD about your high utilization and don't want to take vacation

Just did the math. Utilization has been at almost 120% since September... No wonder I've been such a gem to be around 😂🔫

How does this sound?

My life would be nothing without the Lemonade LA in the Delta terminal at LAX

What's the worst weekly travel itinerary you've had to endure?

That awkward moment when you're sitting in Orals for an RFP and the client says they don't understand what role you've been brought in to discuss...

Funny how some firms have analysts at entry level that then get promoted to consultants, and others vice-versa. Wonder if it affects exit-opportunities at all 😛

If I haven't heard about promotion yet (pwc advisory) is it safe to say I didn't get it?

For those who escaped consulting to industry, what is your day to day like? Is it still just making PowerPoints?

My advice to new joiners: "Don't put ANYTHING onto the client computers. Except your tears. You can leave those on the keyboard."

When your partner turns down work from the San Antonio Spurs because they are too small.

On the early flight home today - 4:45 pm. Feels like PTO! :-)

Has anyone at ACN done a self initiated move? I'm going to move to NYC or SF. Do they immediately adjust salary upon date of move? If not, when?
