Aren’t you worried about utilization
Chief
First partial FY utilization usually doesn’t matter too much.
Have come back from two paternity leaves in Dec and yeah you’re not getting staffed before year end and in most cases more likely early Feb / Into March and beyond
I would have assumed that with paternity leave you would roll back onto the same project, but I guess not? How long was your leave?
Guess who is going to be working over the holiday if there is a project… the new guy
Why?
Very few clients kick off projects in Nov/Dec, and most are wrapping up. Everyone is hiring for their January pipeline.

Long gone are the days when I was on the bench and life was simple and good

I wish I had more cool friends like you here
Project ends December 17th, eyeing projects with a January start date to relax for a bit.
Don’t forget to tell your staffing manager that you are busy considering multiple projects, and to leave u alone 😆
This is so true I did this twice (happened to be), once joined in nov last week and did not start project till January second week and once joined in December first week and did not get project till feb first week. And in both companies that was my only time on bench.
This is the second time for me as well. My first consulting gig, I was hired in late Nov and didn't get staffed until mid February
What kind of joke bosses do you all have with such bad sales pipelines? I’m personally kicking off 3 projects between now and Christmas. All my colleagues are also kicking off projects left and right and we’re pulling everyone off benches.
D-1 Do you ever receive feedback that you're difficult to work with?
