You should be ok

Generic feedback is not going to help you. Ask your counselor where you screwed up. Utilization is just one of the metrics. All else remaining good or great, we did not bring the rating down to a 2 because of utilization alone. Work with your counselor and make sure you are doing everything you need to to get ahead of it. Get support from senior managers and partners if possible so they can vouch for you and you are not depending only on your counselor should you need rescuing.

2s are being "looked at" as part of the broader firm "transition"

Agree w E5, something drastically wrong to get a 2. Noticeably not keeping up with peer group. Not just utilization...

Probably. You should have started looking already yesterday .. Lol

Yea

Bad year so more 2s. What was your utilization?

I now work at the CBC, but I have worked in the private sector too. What is the most realistic way to move to 200K? 1) Continue moving the ladder to a VP position, 2) Switch to Pre-Sale, 3) Switch to Consulting, 4) Work from a U.S. company from Canada.
