Is it possible to not get a bonus because of utilization, even if you’re a high performer?

I don’t think you can be a high performer and have low utilization. Those do not go hand in hand at all at least at PwC.

Is ‘high performer’ supported by your rating, or are you just speaking generally and subjectively?

like

I can’t speak to your firm but my guess is your utilization will do whatever it does to your rating - e.g., bring it down a level - and you get a bonus based on your score. So less bonus, but not no bonus

@pwc1 it was missed by 45 hours. We had an efficient interim and busy season and rarely had to work more than minimum required hours, and I took all my pto (no rollover from PY or dipping into the next FY)

Not sure. I can tell you it’s possible to not get a bonus (or raise) even with amazing utilization

Thanks @SM1. It’s supported by my rating, but was wondering in general too. My firm does not tend to push utilization as hard as some, but I had figured it would be worked into the rating to begin with, rather than just having no bonus at all.Thanks for the insight

45 hours is not material if u were a high performer. I doubt you would get dinged on bonus if your client load was based on client circumstances vs teams not picking you up due to performance and reputation

Hey all,
So I’m currently interviewing for another position, to be a business development specialist at a relatively large tech company in PA. I have about a years worth of experience. Indeed estimates the salary to be between 60k-80k, I was wondering what I should expect?

I currently make 78k at Lockheed but I’m not doing what I’d like to be doing and i felt stuck and after many conversations with my manager and no solution in sight, I started applying elsewhere. I just recently got an offer from a smaller AI company for 95k that I plan to accept. I’m happy to make the jump, I just don’t know how my manager/coworkers will react when I tell them I’m leaving.
