Hey fishes, I joined EY GDS on dec. I was not allocated to any project for initial 2 months. I am billable from february. My utilization is 43%. Will it affect my performance cycle for current year?

Since you weren't allocated to any project initially, it makes sense to have less utilisation. In performance appraisal, they may give you rating as "at par with peer group" as you joined in December and started working on billable hours since February. However, it is important to have this conversation with your counsellor/manager though they are already aware of low utilisation business reason.

How do you find out utilisation

Same is the case with me.
I was un-utilized for starting 5 months.

Will it affect the year end appraisals?

Which SL?

Do you pay your credit cards in full every month?

I ask because I’ve let my credit spending get a bit lax since moving and adopting a puppy recently, so I haven’t been paying them off in full every month like I used to (though still well above the minimum payment, and keeping utilization at 30% or under). It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.
