If you meet your YE utilization goal, does it help your YE reviews if you go beyond the goal? (e.g Target is 95% and you hit 95% vs. 105%)

Fun fact, you can be flagged for too high of a utilization. Happens to me when I had 124%

like

Not really.. if you have that % on client projects and you don't have any internal firm work or investment--I don't think it will be looked down as good.. been there and trust me no matter how much at YE ppl shout of util if u don't have firm involvement your rating will come down. And BIG D is not good in this regard..

Umm unless you and another person are all the same on other metrics. Then it's the final differentiator.

Depends on what ave. utilization % is compared to peers.

Damn D1 that's a lot. M&A projects? Do you just go on the beach after that or what?

Tech implementation where they put me in an SC role as an analyst. Not a fun year

They let you bill actuals. Feel like that is really rare.

Only project Ive ever been on that allowed it. And probably only because the role was sold to the client at an SC rate

Short answer is Yes!

I'm at 135% until so far this PY and have almost 200 hours booked towards internal work and am expecting plenty more...I better not get knocked down.

Util* not until...please create an edit button!!!

Not really

D4 you will be considered at risk for burn out and your counselor may talk to you about why you are working so much

My counselor is the one who had me staffed on two projects at the same time...

I'm 6 months old at D! Planning early promotion next year.. counselor and pm both are backing me.. I need to go to India for at least 4 weeks in Dec ... most probably would be rolling off from current project by then .. would this vacation hurt my promotion chances coz of utilization etc?

Pre-approved for a home but the rate lock expired and now we have to re apply. My husband lets me know his credit score dropped 111 points because of credit card utilization. Even if we get it below 30% ( which we can) not sure it will quickly reflect. I also added him as an authorized user on a high limit credit card I have. Any other suggestions besides trading him in lbs
