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

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

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.

Hi fishes!

I am seeing too many post about awards like rising star, Kudos, etc. People keep telling there managers recommended them for these awards.
My manager doesn't interact much with us. I consider myself as some one who has worked hard for project and other intiatives. Should I ask my manager to consider me and if yes how should I initiate it.

Thank you.

Got offered 68k after 2 years as a contractor (62.5k) doing project management/business admin in a tech department at a Fortune 500 bank. I have an A.S degree and working on my bachelor’s/masters may 2024. I negotiated to 84k NYC. I have seen interns get offered 38 per hour (79k) for internship positions with a similar role.

Thoughts? Should I go higher? I do my job well that’s why they decided to keep me as a contractor after my internship.
