I work in one of the T2s. My utilisation for the last 4 months has been <50%. I think Im doing the right things - helping on BD, internal stuff, making myself visible, partners just haven't been selling. Should I be worried? And what more can I do about it?

It’s going to be as tough for the partners as you. Yes obviously if the business is doing badly you should be worried.
You sound like you are doing a lot - but are you actually pushing to get staffed, no matter the case? Only you can answer that

If you’re doing the right thing and are showing the right behaviours - which it sounds like you are - there’s nothing more you can do

Nothing you can do, but I’d probably be looking for another job. Inevitably there will be a staffing correction and low utilisation will hurt you.

Depends. How good at you at closing deals? If you bring in a lot of money they’re not going to fire you just due to your low utilization.

OW?
