Help me understand how this would work. Getting an offer right now that’s 150k base but with potential to get to my target $200k bar with a bonus for any utilization above 70%. Recruiter said with my typical 90-95% utilization (past 2 years) that should be easy. New to consulting from industry - thank you

It would be at a senior consultant level for professional services at a Tech company (not faang)- think SAP/ Oracle

Don’t want to share the actual company but can dm

The bonus rate should be specifically stated in the offer letter. At 33% that seems like a high rate if you're doing ERP implementation (assumption based on your examples).

I work at a non-FAANG tech company in the professional services org where utilization target is 80%. I'm not familiar with our contracts but I think it's because Monday is a travel day and those 8 house are non-billable. I was hitting >100% utilization during remote delivery but travel is starting up again and it will decrease. My bonus rate was stated at 10% but with my higher utilization and better than expected company performance my annual bonus was >10% but didn't even reach 15%.

I see what you’re saying and yes will reach out to recruiter on specifics. Waiting for offer letter. Alright good to know I could probably exceed the 70% utilization mark pretty easily

Is this a hard sell only or actually possible?

What level are you at new role and where. Utilization depends on level (always easier to get staffed on projects as analyst)

What would be the typical utilization you may see at SC level generally?

That makes sense. I recently interviewed with a smaller boutique firm and they had a utilization bonus with incremental increases in addition to a yearly bonus.
