PWC, what I really love about Accenture is that we don't look at utilization blindly and as a hard metric.

So cute. The only way you should roll off would be if you had a role ready for you to move to that your current project, prospective project, and DTE resource lead support.

I would just suck it up-December and January are both super short months with Christmas/New Years plopped in the middle. It would likely be very difficult for them to train someone up to cover that time frame

like

Assuming you're a analyst/consultant or Sr consultant the only measurement you're graded on is utilization. Charge or perish. Unless you have some really specialized skill, which sounds like you don't.

like

A2 is right. December/Jan is the worst time to hit the bench. What's 2 more minths

like

But that's not totally untypical of any non specialized vertical. Your leadership is always going to ask, what have you done for Me. Not for the company. If you don't think utilization is a scrutinized metric your abashedly misinformed. The only metric, no. But particularly at junior levels with limited / less skill certainly.

like

@CyberArchitect Not a single person said utilization isn't a scrutinized metric. You're the one who said it's the ONLY metric. Instead of admitting you were wrong, you're trying to change the facts.

like

Yes but for reasons that are appropriate. Like you want to be placed in a role that is more to your career goals, you wish to travel less cause of family needs etc.

What if it's not even in my DTE? mc vs. tech

What happened last year

Well that's terrifying

Just found out this morning it'll be three....... 2/28 now 🤗

Ahh beerwarior, instead we judge people on how well they can prove their worth to their group - so when your first two years are filled with projects non group related because your particular pillar has almost no work you're fucked. Go Accenture!

I’ve been in community corrections for almost two years. I love what I do in case management, for inmates working on reentry but I would like to explore other job roles and start making a better income. I’m really interested in tech and project management roles. I just do not know where to start far as getting my foot in the door with either industry. I have a BA criminology, I adjust to quick changes, I thrive in fast paced environments and I learn quick. I have a great work ethic.

Hey Fishes,
