I like variety. Also can hide behind the other if you get stuck in a situation đŸ€«

It is never 50%

I like 25% on 4 projects..oh noo wait I like 12.5% on 8 projects

Even if 50% is real (frequently not), it's an average. All projects have peaks and valleys. If the two project peaks coincide you will be in trouble

50% in 2 projects is the biggest trap in consulting. How about 33% in 3 projects ? That’s where I’m in đŸ€ŠđŸ»â€â™‚ïž

The problem is the client doesn't think you are 50%. So you end up being 110% on one and 140% on the other.

It was supposed to be 50% on two projects for me. Turned into 75% plus 50% plus oh wait 25% on an urgent matter. 90 hour weeks until I screamed bloody murder. Don’t fall into this trap.

Lol ya the “it’s only 50%” line. Don’t fall for that shit.

100% on one project. There is a mental “switching” cost when alternating work.

Also @ZS1 don’t y’all have factional staffing? Lol my girlfriend works there and she’s on 4 projects. I thought that was your model so you are more protected from the trap those of us who don’t have fractional staffing fall in to when we are told 50/50

If you’re *actually* 50% on both projects, lmk. Always seems 100% on both to me!

Consultant 2 Yea, we have fractional staffing all the time. Keeps variety at play. Has its pluses and minuses. But hey, we have local model. So give and take 😀

I head people who can pull off 3.33% across 33 projects make partner

In my office we have a very small number of black people. I don’t know the exact numbers but it doesn’t seem like more than 10. All of them I know >3 are on a personal improvement plan for very basic reasons. One faced blatant racism and was placed off the project. Therefore it was harder for this person to find a new project. How to investigate if this is correlates with microagressions and discrimination towards black people? Any ideas? How to convince non POC that this is a problem?

My firm has a collections budget (80% of your billable rate x 1850 hours) and an hourly budget that must be met in order to be eligible for a bonus. The firm cares very little about originations and will reward someone for making their collections over someone who brings in new work. I missed my collection budget due to some odd timing with a client, but originated more than all my peers so no bonus for me. I’ve been at this same mid level firm for 9 years and it’s all I know. Is this normal??
