I’m on a project where it’s been slow for 2-3 weeks. My manager told me to look for a project to be on so that my utilization won’t be impacted. I have 100% utilization FYTD. I don’t care about metrics anymore, but it seems that if I don’t look for one, I’m going to get in trouble. Considering laying low, or just rolling off the project in general. What would you do?

This, OP. Give up a chance to chill now and pay for it for the next like 9mos

Def lay low. I’ve learned my lesson. You have a bit of free time and you offer to help someone then that person all of a sudden neglects their responsibility leaving you to do all the work and now you’re stuck with yet another project that you barely had time for.

Aren’t you already above the utilization goal? Maybe the manager just wasn’t aware of that. Just chill and help out if someone asks you to

I have a Deloitte PDM offer. I’ve read about the positives/negatives and I’m so torn.

Third question: I’m new in the DC area, are PDMs invited to firm socials? Trying to make friends! Thanks in advance

I joined a project that had already started and the team already settled on creating a user journey map, even though none of them are designers or in ux.

Given this new field and type of work, I've been having a really tough time. Anyone mind sharing what helped get you through your first ux project?
