Is there any point in charging time to GAA (general and administration) if you've already hit 8 or more hours of client billable time for that day (e.g 8 for project + 2 for meetings/internal stuff).

Yes it's for internal PRD work. Track those hours in a separate Excel sheet for YE

So bottom line is, if I charge hours to GAA and a peer does not, I will get rated higher come year end; ceteris paribus of course

You should get a separate charge code for PRD, GAA is useless for tracking time...youbuse when you are on bench

No, useless

I've never heard of anyone tracking internal PRD work through GAA. My counselor told me not to bother with GAA hours because no one in consensus cares

I track pretty through GAA because I can just comment it in DTE and pull the comments. Easier than maintaining a separate spreadsheet of what I did.

Regardless, the number of hours you charge on PRD is meaningless, unless it qualifies you for a snapshot

So if I attend a general service line meeting at the end of the working day, is there a better code to charge to than GAA?

At PwC the internal time counts towards vesting for 401k. It also counts towards helping you stay nonLTA and dealing with the tax ramifications of paying income tax on your expenses if you're on a 12+ month project in your non-home market.

So yes, bill the time you work. Plus it helps during year end. You just have to make sure you can get evaluated for the time so it doesn't crank up your non-reviewed time.

Things like all hands meeting I don't bother to charge

Hi Fishes,

The 2nd offer is just 18.2% higher than my current earnings. Need your suggestion, if I could still negotiate with HR to finalize deal by asking for 25% hike?
