Guidehouse fish - GT is doing a miserable job at giving us the brass tacks info on what to expect when we become GH employees. Can anyone share what utilization requirements are by level over at GH? How much maternity/paternity leave? PTO/FTO? Do you have an end of December firm holiday like GT does?

Utilization goal is 90% for C/SC, 80% for MC, and goes down the higher up the chain you go. Monthly bonuses for hitting stretch goals. (100% C/SC, 90% MC). Resets annually with the calendar year.

"Unlimited PTO" which basically means as long as you hit your utilization goal and the client is happy no one cares how much time you take off. In practice it works well for people who work well past the standard 8 hours, otherwise it's not that great.

13 firm holidays in the US, of which 2 are floating.

No firm-wide December holiday.

Don't know about family leave myself but I'm sure someone else can answer that.

GH utilization varies by segment. For SC in SLG my target is 90%. I believe ES&I SC is ~84%. Not sure of other segments. PTO and sick time are unlimited.

No official firm holiday but - at least in my segment - it’s usually just one person on call for the account and everyone else takes off (because unlimited vacation). We get Christmas Eve + Christmas and NYE + NY as holidays (and get weekdays if they fall on weekends), so you’re only taking a few billable days off.

Happy to answer any other questions on this stuff.

Thank AD 1 -- can you tell us the sales target for AD and D? Does MC have sales targets? Trying to figure out how the GT levels and requirements align. Thanks!

To be clear, this is all managed but not rigid. Each segment builds a budget and we work together to manage to it. Everyone contributes.

So I recently accepted a 12 month contract-hire position at a much larger company. Pay is more than 50% of my salary, and benefits/401k is covered by the recruiting agency. I was confident in my now manager, who told me directly this will become a permanent role. However, i’m nervous about where the economy is going to be within the next year, and after getting a few linked in messages to interview for full time positions, I’m starting to second guess myself. Thoughts? Advice?

I'm SVP/strategy for a PR agency. I moved into PR, Healthcare, and Strategic Planning only 3 years ago.

Or that I'm qualified). But long-term, knowing account roles are so much more plentiful than brand planning in PR, I'm wondering if I should start thinking about account. Anyone here moved from strategy to account?
