Have you contacted them? When did this happen? I’m assuming you’re an associate?

Don’t book travel until instructed to do so.

Don't bother with your demand manager. He or she isn't checking email.

Connect with the M/D on the project right now.

Don't make it about the late notice. That doesn't get you anywhere right now. #G

Travel to Atlanta and meet me by baggage claim #4. I, your Engagement Leader will be waiting for you with a sign that says XX (one x in black other in blue). Note: this is a top secret project and we aren’t supposed to talk about it with anyone including people on the actual project team.

Reach out to whoever booked you

Reach out to your demand manager to see what’s up. But definitely just don’t show up at ATL airport having booked a last minute, expensive ticket without a project team lead telling you to. Also, are you sure it’s even in Atlanta? The client could be based there but may have local operations in your city which could be why they booked you specifically.

It could be a ghost book and the project isn't sold yet? Or I'd reach out to your demand Rep too

Just to add, had you not happened to look, you wouldn’t know this booking occurred, and since the project team has not reached out, there’s no reason for concern.

What you have to do - First, calm down. All is good, this is how consulting works sometimes. Reach out to your Demand Manager as well as to the Project Lead, there should be something in the booking description on TalentLink on who the responsible Manager/Director/Partner is. Don’t book any travel unless you’re specifically being told to do so - as mentioned before, maybe that’s just a blocker for now to keep you available for this project or they need you as a remote resource. No worries, I’m sure it’ll get resolved soon.

There was nothing there as at Friday morning. I can see people on the team and do not know any of them. I have no clue who to reach out to at the moment. I was bored just now and viewed my talent link and I see that I'm booked till Christmas. No email or message from anyone.

like

You also could be a remote resource too, and they planned on reaching out on Monday?

How did you figure it out? Did you just happen to check TalentLink on Sunday morning?

Reach out to the team. I've got the same name as three other people at the firm and all my deployment emails keep getting sent to the wrong person.

Thanks for all the advise. I was booking my xmas firm holiday and behold a fully booked schedule. I managed to google all the folks on the Talentlink and they are all based in the ATL office. My name is very cultural and I am probably the only one who has the name, so I am sure it's not a mistake. I will be reaching out to the Director tomorrow morning, hopefully I am not getting anyone in trouble by doing so.

Very true PWC 3, I just struggle to understand why folks find it hard to communicate. All I always get is apologies. We can always email, google hangout or whatever. I am not a fan of the last minute notification and then you expect me to deliver.

Contact your demand manager today. It’s likely a miscommunication— both demand and the project should have reached out by now.

Yup agreed OP communication is not demand or PwC consultants' strong point. Ironic since that is literally what we get paid for ...

Partners or whomever can help me understand about billing and hours. To keep things simple, let’s say you only have one staff to work 1,700 billable hours a year on a $60k salary and you have only one job that and the rate charged to the client is $300/hour and an projected hours budget of 1,700 hours. So ideally you would have revenue of $510k. If the staff takes less time partners make less money and if they take more time partners make more money while the staff keeps the same salary?

My firm has a collections budget (80% of your billable rate x 1850 hours) and an hourly budget that must be met in order to be eligible for a bonus. The firm cares very little about originations and will reward someone for making their collections over someone who brings in new work. I missed my collection budget due to some odd timing with a client, but originated more than all my peers so no bonus for me. I’ve been at this same mid level firm for 9 years and it’s all I know. Is this normal??

I got a call for a Java position. I told them I do not develop in Java. I do JavaScript with React. He says “oh yes, that is what the client wants”. So I sent my resume. When he sent the confirmation email it stated Angular/Java. I told him that I don’t have much Java skills. He then sent this (pic) as a response. 🤔🤔🤔
When I spoke to the client she had no idea why the recruiter added angular react as it was just a Java developer position, Completely wasted so much time
