It is a reasonable question for you to wonder why you have no work when the entire firm is shut down and not working? I would think otherwise.

The obvious answer would be to reach out to those above you to see if there is work for you to do. As they may not know that you have nothing to do.

I have a Deloitte PDM offer. I’ve read about the positives/negatives and I’m so torn. When my recruiter says I’ll have “144 hours” of PTO (18 days), will I definitely still run into the utilization trap of not being able to take it? Are all projects 40-42 hr weekly caps? Third question: I’m new in the DC area, are PDMs invited to firm socials? Trying to make friends! Thanks in advance

You’re either not valuable to your company and/or your job isnt that important if you’re able to take PTO and not at least send some e-mails.
