I am a recently onboarded analyst and have been applying to some initiatives since my coach told me I’d be on the bench for some time. A project I got asked to join is classified as an “internal investment (Adjusted Utilization)”. Can someone describe how adjusted utilization will effect my year-end review? It seems like a good thing but would appreciate some insight here. Thank you!

Your utilization will show as 0 since it's not a billable external client code, but it's still a real project so when you submit an adjusted utilization number you will count the hours the same as client hours

Counts towards your utilization goal so while your not on a project, I would take it to ensure you meet your goals.

Is this a full time role? Taking on an internal role for your first project may not directly affect your performance review but I personally don’t think it’s setting you up for strong performance and actually learning the job. If it’s a part time initiative that happens to have utilization credit, awesome, but finding a client facing role would be better learning for you.

As others have said, adjusted utilization counts towards your utilization target as a client WBS would.

It’s a part-time internal initiative (4-5 hours a week). Do you think 4-5 hours is an accurate reflection of the time commitment

Career advice that I give to the people I manage- do one more thing everyday that you weren’t going to do or didn’t feel like doing- for your team or for your client. Could be notes, a follow up, a reminder, raising your hand to tackle and drive something-whatever. That little extra effort against something you didn’t “have” to do, every day, overtime will make you invaluable
