PTO won't help utilization.

PTO is not like holidays or jury duty; it doesn't reduce your denominator of total hours available. So in doing this you'd be wasting your PTO and not helping your utilization.

At Accenture it would help but even then I would say no and save your pto... I regret so much using pto to lessen the blow to my chargeability ...

At KPMG (as of 3 years ago), PTO was a factored into utilization and therefore if u do use PTO you ur utilization will not be negatively affected... but that's Big K

At PwC it doesn't change the calc.

Do you pay your credit cards in full every month?

I ask because I’ve let my credit spending get a bit lax since moving and adopting a puppy recently, so I haven’t been paying them off in full every month like I used to (though still well above the minimum payment, and keeping utilization at 30% or under). It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.

I’m struggling. I left an agency I liked last year due to growth limitations and since then I’ve worked at 2 different agencies and can’t seem to find my footing. The first one seemed like a good fit at first but then it turned out to not be the best place for me so I left. At my current agency I feel super undervalued. I’m always raising my hand and offering to help where I can and no matter what I do, I don’t feel utilized or valued or part of the team.It’s really taken a toll on my confidence
