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.

Gps or commercial?

I know OP said commercial, but could you please speak to GPS as well?

Are you waiting on your RM to staff you? Given the macroeconomic conditions I wouldn’t exactly be sitting on my hands….

Your RM is about as useful as a glass hammer .. if you can’t find client work get on an internal project for adj util

Try to find something impactful to fill your time as you search. Are they any firm contributions you can support. You’ll eventually get flag when you have an excess amount of training and administration hours. You want to be able to demonstrate you are contributing in other ways even if not billable.

This. Especially if you can help with pursuits - which gives you more exposure. Also, go on My Gigs and see if you can find some stuff that is interesting and possibly even could have an investment code that improves your utilization. That’s kind of a unicorn - but definitely any code at all is better than none, even if it’s PRD.

What offering?

Ooof.
