We are not slaving, we get paid. But not enough for the amount of work, and BS we deal with.
The longer you stay with the firm, the more admin time you have, which results in a lower utilization. Also, I would argue that assurance has the most "guaranteed" charge hours while tax and advisory are largely dependent on the number and size of projects. I have a ton of small tax projects that I can barely charge any time to without destroying my budget
Is the phrase "slave away" not pc? I'm not saying anybody is actually a slave. Anyway the main point of the post is how are people being rated lower based on utilization, when it seems like there is so much to do?
Depends largely on industry and location. My office overhired for cips but is significantly understaffed in FS. So people in the same office same rank could have totally different experiences.
Because people just like to bitch
Why would you ever eat hours. The only person you hurt is yourself
Also, the way utilization works, since it's chargeable hours, those extra hours you do gets negated by the holidays, vacations, trainings, all hands, etc. at least, if you're taking the time off and not having to make up for the G&A hours.
Because some of us eat hours to avoid headaches resulting from going over budget.
