I'm going to be short but have been told that I should make it fine due to quality of work and partner support

Depends on the other ppl up for promotion and how you stack up. More importantly, how far off and why? Also, what were you doing when you weren't staffed

It's certainly possible to get promoted missing your metrics. Sometime they compromise by giving a 3 for that but still promoting.

Can you get higher than a 3 if you don't hit your target utilization ?

Not sure if you are well connected at the firm, but I was able to get hours from folks when short. Reach out to your network and see what you can do. How short are you going to be? You have a few more months.

Hi Fishes,

Please share your thoughts 🙏

When they say utilization doesn't count for the month of May/June what exactly does that entail? I'm assuming being on the bench for those months will still show on personal utilization reports...
