Hi Deloitte TS/S cleared folks! Waiting on the bench for client security processes, read ins, indoc/in-processing negatively impacts utilization. How do we mitigate this @ promotion time?

Find a project you can do for a few weeks. If you’re Advisory, check gigs.

Seriously though - this is one of the worst things about Deloitte. The firm views this as your problem, not theirs.

Sure. If your UT took a hit, try to find something part time to make that up - if you’re in Consulting, look for internal stuff that offers adjusted utilization.

My experience for the in doc/read ons there’s usually an internal project code to bill to. (It’s technically work for the client because they require it). Also, I would communicate with project management and your coach about your utilization needs. My project would allow people to work more than 45 hours with permission. Also, my counselor went to bat for anyone who needed it for promotion. You likely will take a hit for raise and bonus, but D always looks for any excuse not to pay well.

You're fine. They know it takes awhile but you should show your making an impact whole you are on the bench.

Hi All,

I have a situation in front of me. I got an offer from small company or we could say startup company Uzio (pdt based) and my manager in current company didn't revert back with any retaining offer. It's been a month and 27 days left in np.
My dilemma is that my current team including reporting manager are very rude and not supportive. I don't want to work in this project. But if I join in that startup company, there's a risk as everyone is talking about recession, firing. Suggestions?
