How do I check my utilization?

Deloitte people on CPT with 40 hour/week limit: Since its self-reported, do you just bill 40 hours per week? Worried about the impact to my utilization.

Is there a way to check utilization for yourself? If yes, then where?

Pregnant ladies or ladies with kids,
If you were still working when pregnant, did you manage to keep your workday up to truly 8+ hours and keep your utilization intact? Or,
if you weren’t feeling well and stepped away, did you factor that into your timesheet?

Any other mentoring programs out there y’all recommend other than ACP? Really enjoyed ACP and my mentor but unfortunately I’m disqualified for a second round because I’ve already utilized the service.

After learning how credit utilization impacts one's credit score, I just raised the limit on 2 of my credit cards. I opened 2 cards last week in order to take advantage of cash back bonus deals.(cont)

In light of all discussions on FB, it seems to me that individuals at our firm have been removed out of EY beyond PIP related issues.
To help the community brace itself, please provide facts on your Utilization, level, leads, YoE at EY, and network.
My experience seems that the ones let go, had weak network.

Such BS how these firms market "work/life balance" when utilization metrics are affected by the amount of PTO you take. WTF!

I’m an IT consultant and we just discussed an RFP with a manager. They wanted to use resources overseas/offshore for some capabilities and then one of the other managers said something on the lines of “or we could do pretty much everything offshore and do PMO here it would save the budget”. I’m sick of this approach. How am I supposed to get utilization and learn actual stuff outside of PMO if they always end up using offshore resources? It’s not fair for the new generation of consultants

How are people that have a downturn in their utilization using time to develop new HC skills and competencies? What resources are you finding helpful?

Hi everyone, my sister was fired from her job because her exemption from the vaccine got rejected. She has Director of Nursing experience as well as experience with case management and utilization review. Anyone know of any startups or tech companies that are remote and wouldn’t require a vaccination that are hiring for experienced nurses? Really appreciate the help! Any leads are welcome!

The higher up I get at PwC the more I see wayyyyy too many cooks in the kitchen. Everyone is trying to add value lol it’s laughable. There’s a few partners a few directors a few managers maybe one senior manager who is low on utilization and is being called the “project manager” lol anyone else see the same?

Hi!
I'm a ssc wanting to switch projects but worried I won't find anything fast enough to keep up utilization. How long can you be looking (on the bench) before it's an issue ?

ACN: when we bill time to recruiting does it count same as unassigned or does it help utilization a bit?

What were some challenges y’all faced this week?

I’ll start. Trying to get non local resources utilized. National Leadership thinks this is the answer to our problems but local leadership is hesitant.

How does your firm deal with underperforming associates? We are crazy busy but have a couple first-years on vacation, 50-100 hours per month, and thinking we are a "lifestyle" firm. I don't want to just fire them, at least not yet, but I want to see a change. How many second chances do you give? How many months under budget?

Looking to move to London (international move) at the end of next year and wondering if anyone knows of any teams/firms that primarily do ODD work? I believe S& Deals primarily do CDDs and DDV primarily do separations.

I do a lot of ODD work now with a mix of CDDs and separations and looking to focus more on ODDs when I get to London. Open to moving away from S& / PwC if needed.

Thanks!

Help my MIL came to stay with us 2 weeks before. She is going to live with us for few months and she s generally sweet. She has her own room away from kids however my 10 MO who was the best sleeper is waking up every 15 mins for the last 2 weeks and wouldn’t sleep on his crib. He is a happy crawler however she holds him a lot through out the day or makes him sit on her lap.He crawls around the crib and screams. Am I imagining him that not enough floor time is making him a terrible sleeper ?

Insurance Defense Associates: Why not unionize? A lot of people are complaining about very low salaries and high billable requirements. This is a product of low rates and stringent billing requirements imposed by insurance carriers. Unionization at a few large shops like Wilson Elser and Lewis Brisbois can single-handedly turn the entire ID industry around. A rising tide lifts all boats.

After 3 1/2 years of giving the CPA exams my all, I’ve decided it’s time for a career change. I got into accounting for the wrong reason. Although I’m 25, and I have some soul searching to do. I feel like I am taking a step in the right direction

What do you do when you’re sad?

I work in a small office of a national firm. The people in my office are on the opposite end of politics than I am (usually totally fine). HOWEVER, recently there have been loud discussions in hallways regarding current political issues that have been less about the law of it all and more about people’s personal opinions. There’s a lot of recreational talk about guns and “conservative values” and “liberal nutjobs” that make me very uncomfortable. ignore or say something to someone?

Understand it will be circumstantial to modules being implemented, but not an SAP resource here so please help me fish.
