Is utilization low in most firms right now? Is it efficiency that is causing this or a slow downturn in the economy causing businesses to close?

What were some challenges y’all faced this week?

I’ll start. Trying to get non local resources utilized. National Leadership thinks this is the answer to our problems but local leadership is hesitant.

Director of Utilization Review salaries

I wish admin utilized Tier 1 supports with teachers. Smiles, appreciations and acknowledging ones efforts would do a great deal to boost morale and climate. I just don’t understand what that is so hard to do.

How is everyone staying motivated at work while going through fertility treatments? On days when I have appts or get my period, all I want to do is google and read forums about it. My utilization is tanking (not because I’m blowing off work, but because I need to find and take on new work) but can’t get the energy to). I’ve told my manager about what I’m going through and she is supportive, but feeling guilty when I hear about how busy everyone around me is and I just can’t find the motivation.

Hey there! I am an RN specialized in surgery trying to break into remote utilization work, specifically review of insurance claims. Does anyone have experience going from bedside into health insurance with no experience? I have less than a year of nursing experience but ready to make the switch because of working during the pandemic, getting my masters, and crap pay.

How is the practice’s utilization below plan? Is it just so in realistic?

New to ACN, M level, was staffed briefly on a short term project (4 weeks) then got pulled from that project to work on a different one but that only lasted 6 weeks. Utilization is low less than 35% so I’m concerned and don’t have a solid plan for turning things around. As an experienced hire it seems like a battle to establish yourself and find consistent work and develop your network. Did some BD work but was never provided to it w a chargeable code. Any suggestions on turning things around?

I had 60 day late payment of 35 bucks in Jan. It was new Amex Hilton card I opened for stupid points. It was reported and my credit score had been consistently dropping from last 6 months. It was 780 and now is 735. I realized this 3 months and been paying my credit card bills immediately. Infact I have overpaid each card to have negative balance so my credit utilization is almost zero. What else I can do to repair the damage. I am applying for homeloan and this is big issue to get best rate

what should I do to make it at least 40 hrs/week? already reached out to a senior but still got nothing to do. i'm afraid it will impact my utilization.

Whenever the partner sends the team a late Friday / early Saturday reminder to submit time sheets (weekly billing) & confirm when done, whole team replies all. Wtf? I reply, don't reply all. Cont.

Busted my butt last year, hit my utilization target (overshot it), multiple in-house projects including two with international impact at my org..... and this year, performance ranked a “high 3.” (What the hell is a high 3, years from now?). No promo. What to do?

Welcome to Whose Job is it Anyways! Where the deliverable is made up and the utilization doesn't matter.

Aaaand that’s 100.1% utilization on my March timesheet and not a minute more. I’m the king of just enough

I work in a small home care agency around 45 patients, 90 employees, including me and 4 other office staff members.

My position was office coordinator until my boys striped me of that title. But I assist with scheduling, I/T, tech support, supervising, payroll, billing, and more.

What am I actually doing? I feel over worked, over utilized, underpaid (but that's not the biggest issue) and over stimulated.

I just had a baby 4 months ago and have been at work since I came home from the hospital.

With bonus a month later than usual, would round table look at June utilization now?

Confused by "utilization". I've seen 100+%? Is it your charge hrs over goal hrs? It is based on 40 hr week or charge hrs over your total? Ex: I worked 58 charge, 6 GAA, =64 total. What is utilization?

In the big 4, can you hit your utilization targets while still taking all your PTO?

INDUSTRY VS CONSULTING COMPARISON THREAD

Joining Industry has been pretty interesting. I’d love to hear about the little nuances you’ve noticed after making the switch.

I’ll go first:
- The concept of a “boss” is very real. This person is largely responsible for your career, knows your salary, and has influence in things like internal transfers
- The idea of working FOR your boss is also new
- No time sheets or utilization
- Decks and presentation skills are way less polished

Greetings from the UK! Does anyone know any reliable recruitment agencies for Tech? For Backend SWE, Data Engineering roles in London.

Apart from Client-Server...

How do I get out of audit and pivot towards a strategy role? It seems like every option outside of being a senior accountant is unreachable. What should I be aiming for? Deals teams at the firms are “accountants on steroids” and not worth transferring to and apparently auditors can’t get any other roles.

Happy Pride month! 🏳️‍🌈

Watching Bumrah’s bowling spell today almost brought tears to my eyes as I still vividly remember during 90s Pak bowlers Waqar/Akram/Akhtar spitting fire with their bowling and I’d think when will India get a bowler like these folks, that time has come. ✌️

How good is PWC Federal practice for Cloud technologies such as Salesforce?

Any advice on how to navigate this more strategically? I definitely need to update my resume with CSM jargon but I'd appreciate any referrals/insights!
