Yes EY2, We hire people here at Deloitte that are incapable of doing this kind analysis. Furthermore, those are the ones who are fully utilized because that level of ineptitude is of high demand to our clients. Sorry, I must have forgotten this.

I get everyone non D offering all the formulas and.What not but if someone from D is giving 2080 bs without asking more details about op level and comm vs federal them all you are proving how much you have to learn. Follow this rule - dont judge the fking book by cover , open it , read first 10 pages and last 5 and then offer your opinion. Anyway op what's your level. That 2% drop by week is roundabout applies to all the staff level

Op isn't good at math everyone. Op is a consultant not a mathematician! Please give him/her a break and instead relish in the fact that Op has 120% util. You too should aim for this. This is not a humble brag as Op has not a humble bone in his or her body.

PwC1 - that's not how utilization works right now. The utilization in relative to a target per year, nr relative to all hours. So perfectly normal to be >100%

Anyone else just sitting around waiting for the ax to drop? I'm a soon to be 2nd year corporate associate who has seen work completely dry up.
