Just found out the project I worked on this week is non-billable! I wasn't informed during the staffing request. Is this normal?

Sometimes it makes sense to add an investment resource. Confirm you will get util for your hours and do your best to set yourself up billable follow-up work

like

NB codes still count for utilization. It just means they’re not billing it back to the client.

I was working with clients at client site but the WBS shows non-billable 😓

It's still a direct code, I don't think it will impact utilization. But you should confirm that.

I’ve seen that with analysts but they still get the util

like

It was an internal project? You didn't work with any clients?

Was it a real WBS? Or one of those PRD/BD codes?

It’s a great strategy to demonstrate the value of a critical role the client isn’t willing to pay for and get the client familiar with new team members.

Nb codes still count as utilization.

@D2, @D3 agreed. But are they not supposed to let you know that when they are asking if they can staff you? Or is that not the norm?

OP it literally doesn’t matter at all.

Partners or whomever can help me understand about billing and hours. To keep things simple, let’s say you only have one staff to work 1,700 billable hours a year on a $60k salary and you have only one job that and the rate charged to the client is $300/hour and an projected hours budget of 1,700 hours. So ideally you would have revenue of $510k. If the staff takes less time partners make less money and if they take more time partners make more money while the staff keeps the same salary?

Hi everyone! I am in a weird situation right now that I haven’t been in before and could really use some advice especially from women who might have faced or seen something similar. Long story short, I was brought into my current firm and promised that the work I want to do is within the team/solution they recruited me for and aligned me with in the system. However, once I started working on the project, it became very clear that I’m in the wrong team and on the wrong project (continued below)
