Projected charge ability is 71% for the year as a consultant in Accenture strategy. Is that too low for promotion? Reviews otherwise are good.

Why? Cause strategy leadership sucks at selling work lol

A1 is way wrong - chargeability is heavily scrutinized these days given the state of the practice. Unfortunately it is somewhat out of your control, but so long as you do have a decent CC and some good relationships with leadership you have a shot.

like

Get a good CC. They don't really look at utilization that closely

like

Agreed with M1 - it's going to be a tough year in terms of promotions in AS. Chargeability is definitely going to be considered and used to make decisions.

like

Better question is why. Did you help on strategic business development or internal initiatives that are not billable?

Well to get promoted with low utilization you'd need to be winning lots of work or leading internal stuff

Well. My CC (SM) said it pretty confidently... but that may be because I'm in a small, new-ish group and have lots of access to the leadership in the group.

Which group are you in, @OP?

Also OP - 70% should be fine for a promotion - don't let it slide too much below that

Just try to stay chargeable for the rest of the year and you should be ok!

I currently have 10% shares in a very small f&b group owns 2 restaurant outlets.

One of them have been hit with covid and we are suffering in sales. Our director somehow don’t believe in marketing and will not budge to allocate resources to hire a personnel. Our staff are underpaid so there are no incentives for them to go beyond their SOW.

What are some of the ways to drive more sales?

If we have to raise a small round to cover the next 6 months of OPEX - is it a feasible?

Do creative directors have to manage people?
I don’t like managing people, especially juniors who are still figuring out their career paths. But at my company, in order to be considered a leader, you have to manage people. I see myself as a leader, contributing ideas and strategy… I just don’t want to deal with developing performance goals and compensation. Is this the case everywhere? Can I be a creative leader without managing?
