By charging 20 of those hours to client codes? It’s just math...

Sounds like you charge 20 hours per week to client codes and the other 35-40 hours to the code I charge when I need to eat time. I call that my own personal PD code. (Hint: it’s G&A).

It means you’ve gone on vacation or training ? Are you doing 55 all year round or like 30 during low season?

I started with Deloitte as SC in May, since then I was staffed on a project for a while. The project has ended now. I am on bench and my utilization is around 35%. I have been looking to get completely staffed since I have joined with no luck. My current status is, no billable project with utilization of 35% and September will be my 4th month with the company. How long do I have until Deloitte starts taking notice/action regarding low utilization.

Busy season was rough, things are looking better now as things return to normal. Still working crazy hours if you count the daycare duties on top of utilization targets.

Hi y’all,
I shared an intermediate workout program (Back/Legs/Arms&Shoulders/Leg/Chest split) with a few friends the other day and figured I could also share it with others if interested.

It’s a program I follow outside of my 12-16 training block preps, and if anyone wants, I can share it with them. It’s for strength training.

Also happy to explain what any of the exercises are if someone wants the workouts and doesn’t know the benefit or how to do them.

Feel free to DM me about it

Cheers

No, it’s not you. Even for essentials, I step out of my house with a visceral fear and a discomfort that I both can and cannot explain. I struggle to imagine how I’m going to explain these feelings and these experiences to my children as they grow older. But if this fear is what some people were looking to evoke, they’ve succeeded. I’m scared. I’m afraid to drive at night, or drive alone, or take walks at night, and then I have to come in and work at 100% like everything is just OK.
