We got notified in our practice to bill 45hours per week. I think available hours per week is still 40. I personally like it since it inflates our utilization, work 10hours a day & helps during bench time.

Don’t think of it as hours, think about it as annualized percentages of utilized vs. available time (by the way, vacation and sick time don’t hurt you if you aren’t abusing it).... aim to be at or just about peer group and everything is good. SMs can’t bill like staff for margin purposes, but everyone still gets benchmarked from a metrics perspective

45 as a min or a max? Deloitte’s standard work week is 45 hours but most people work more.

Relax, we know you work a lot

45 hours of utilization a week for Deloitte is considered “100%”. So yes we mandate 45 hours of client work

40 hours are standard for us, but everyone has expected overtime hours based on staff class

Career advice that I give to the people I manage- do one more thing everyday that you weren’t going to do or didn’t feel like doing- for your team or for your client. Could be notes, a follow up, a reminder, raising your hand to tackle and drive something-whatever. That little extra effort against something you didn’t “have” to do, every day, overtime will make you invaluable

Long post alert; I have been interviewing with a b4 for a senior con role since Mar end. Cleared all the rounds including case study and got strong rating as well as good feedback. Fast forward to last week, the talent POC calls me up and informs that she has asked the business if the position is still open, because now they just need the business approval to roll out the offer. I immediately felt demotivated as to ‘why now’ after all rounds have been cleared (continued in the comment below)

- red badgers had low morale since they’re contract workers and can be terminated at any time
