It’s expected that you’re utilized 100% and participating in/leading internal initiatives. It’s table stakes if you want to advance.

Well at Slalom part of your bonus is tied to activities not related to your client work and performance like internal/community participation. Someone who is only utilized 50% as a consultant could still get the same bonus amount as a consultant with 110% utilization and stellar feedback.

Don’t panic though, you have a few weeks left to get that utilization up 🤑

Important. Sad but true. But look for internal stuff with high impact
