As pwc1 said though it varies drastically with different projects

like

We have deliverables instead of busy seasons.
Most of Friday and certain holiday weeks
Nope but we gotta to do a lot of internal stuffs ‘voluntarily’

Naw not too bad, 45hrs/week, 95 utilization, wfh on average once a week

Probably matters what type of advisory?

I wfh almost every day

Big ol it depends. Some projects I can wfh almost every day. Other projects I'm traveling across the country every week. Same with hours per week. Some projects are a breeze, others blow up. Ends of projects are always busy to rush to meet the deadline. We have yearly utilization goals but no required 'busy season' type weekly goals. This is in tech consulting.

I wfh at least 2x a week. Very flexible, no true busy season

Anyone have slow months where you burn through a lot of your allotted pro bono/professional development hours to keep hitting minimum daily hours? The past few weeks have been like this for me.

I work as a Business Development Manager at a sports club.. I’ve been given a couple of months “trial” in the 6 figure and above sales in which I don’t see going back to my other role on lower sales. This was a somewhat good move for me until I consider missing out on commission each month that was more than my salary. (£25k salary, over £2k per month commission)
How do I go about raising this concern? I believe I should be paid more now and at least change my job title?

I’m going to be a dad! But I have some questions. When should I tell my manager/teams? I’m up for senior promotion this year, will this impact that promotion? For those of you that work in public what tips do you have for managing your work and family responsibilities? For context, my wife, once she’s done with maternity leave, will only work 25-30 hours a week. I know working in public and having a new born is probably going to be a lot to juggle, but I have to make it work.
