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!

Well, I was the one who broke it off. I couldn’t get him to love me the way I needed or even respect me enough. It’s been 6 weeks of not seeing each other. We messaged this week. He doesn’t get it…. His messages show he still doesn’t know what he wants. Yet, if I am totally honest, I hate how part of me wishes he would do a grand gesture/finally decide to be a better man. It’s delusional. It’s crazy how love can be so rosy, sweet & blinding that the red flags seem surmountable.
