I feel underutilized with a 105% utilization rate. I have so much more to offer but this project only sees 1% in me and rejects the rest 99%. Is this normal in consulting?

If 1% of you is 105% utilization you need to work on bigger problems. Use your spare 99% to cure cancer

Or at least find an endeavor that pays more than consulting.

What a strange flex…..do you work for Deloitte?

I can just tell by the verbiage you’re using.

Anyways, that’s what your job is as a C, to execute without questions. If you want something more challenging apply for an SC role on your next project. That’s the best way to fast track for promotion.

Experienced hires (myself included) are just a way to tell clients they have “people with xxx years of industry experience”. Rare you get to apply it in my experience.

I’m so confused by what you’re saying that I’m not surprised project is rejecting the other 99% of you.

Do you always have a client sign a contract prior to work? Are there any template sources worth while?

So I work for a division called “In house services” where I am essentially an extension to my clients HR. My client recent had me source for a Program Coordinator in Talent Acquisition. They just offered her 7k more than what I make. She acts as a support to TA while I do full cycle direct hire & manage a 50+ contractor workforce managing about 30 open reqs at one time. To my employees, I am their HR and Payroll. I know the client TA people make even more. Is it worth bringing up to my boss?
