Out of curiosity, who here is on the beach and how long have you been on the beach for?

1-2 weeks can be unavoidable when we're not running a backlog. Prolonged time on the beach is a signal that MC are avoiding picking you up on their projects. If you're not getting staffed, reach out for BD or ask if you can support a project that could use a free resource. Network with MC directly in addition to formal staffing channels

Use your beach time to apply to other jobs

funny

And if you’ve been on the beach for a while, are you concerned about getting laid off?

Utilisation doesn’t correlate with layoffs though right?

it 100% is. If you are not in demand (aka the MC and project managers do not want you) then you will sit on the beach for a long time while other people get staffed.

Longest “true” beach time (no active project or follow ups, etc) I had was about 2 weeks in February and all I did was BD during that time (I proactively asked for it).

Prefer not to say but an American east coast office

I mean how many true client projects do we really have going on? Seems to be a lot of 1tmt project codes, so I’m not sure how much of it is MC passing on you vs. projects that are actually going on

I’ve been working at a rather prestigious midsized firm in a big city for almost a year and a half now. I have been having a lot of trouble picking up work from senior partners. We are required to bill at least 150 hours per month to meet our requirement. My months are typically only 110-130 hours. It seems like the senior partners already have their “go to” associate for things. Does anyone have any suggestions on how i can increase my workload? I reach out for work pretty much weekly.

Looking for advice! I was approved to work remotely but my salary will decrease 10%. I received two raises so the decrease brings me down to my previous salary. I was told that it’s due to the cost of labor in the area.

I’ve been with my company for 8+ yrs, I love my manager and the work I do (engagement, recognition, & wellness programs) but I feel like I’m limiting myself since I have the experience, an HRM degree, and SHRM-CP credentials.

Should I apply for roles outside the company?
