At EY we have Full and Effective. Full is your YTD utilization and subtracts PTO. Effective is the same but doesn't penalize you for PTO.

Effective is what is used for roundtables

No difference at pdubs.

...which I hear is changing...and we're going back to full utilization 😡

Yeah our util doesnt subtract pto. It basically penalizes you for taking vacation.

My group uses full util for round tables so yeah vacation penalizes you...

Interesting. Not sure why it surprises me that metrics vary from practice to practice, I feel like I should know that by now hah

Adjusted utilization is where they account for taking you off the market to support an internal role/an offering development which is seen as best I retest for the firm so you don't get dinged at the end of the year for low utilization.

Hello, I am looking to make a career change that starts at a minimum 75K salary. The economy is tough right now and I can no longer afford to stay in my current role.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a possible higher paying career that I would be qualified for based on my background?

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.

Hi! I’m doing some research on employee benefits (medical insurance, 401k, HSA/FSA, commuter benefits) and was hoping to connect with People specialists or HR professionals in the comp & benefits space.

How common are credit checks for roles in accounting or finance positions? Will high utilization on credit card balances and low credit score be a deal breaker?
