OP - great line about the Brinks truck. Never heard that used like that before. Good luck getting the big payout.

I think everyone is forgetting to ask the important question here... what line of service OP? If it is an advisory/consulting line then 82% is really good.

Can you honestly say your utilization is above 82%? My mom always tells me I work too hard, when i can't talk on the phone after 6:30 sometimes. You have to make sacrifices to be a 5, but most of you wouldn't know about that.

In a speciality group and have 40+ clients per year, we only charge what we work, unlike audit where you charge from when you get there to when you leave. Utilization also does not equal value, esp if you have high utilization on things that are fixed fee... when it's all T&E different story

Bain & Company Is it truly easier to get in a smaller MBB office?

Have heard a lot for different opinions on these. The logic is that it’s easier because there is a lot of supply in cities like NY, Chicago and SF, but the counter argument is that the offices with less supply are also way smaller and have a lot less demand.
