@PwC wbs 8 code counts towards utilization target? Been 125% on the 8 for 3 months. Either I'm rocking it or it'll come to haunt me later on.

Yeah, ouch. You can check your utilization in MyMetrics. Have a serious conversation with this partner. This could really screw you at round tables unless the partner really really has your back

8 code is worthless. But you knew that right??

What office OP? 3 months is a long time

Only 4 codes ....

🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

4 codes are for non-billable but gives utilization.

8 codes definitely not for utilization. Ignore comments about it counting "outside TnE". One set of metrics for the firm.

Hello, I am looking to make a career change that starts at a minimum 75K salary. The economy is tough right now and I can no longer afford to stay in my current role. I have a bachelors degree in Sociology with experience in managed care, utilization management, & clinical admin.. Does anyone have any suggestions for a possible higher paying career that I would be qualified for based on my background?

Hadn’t noticed this sub before, and most of the threads are old so thought I’d ask a follow up - how has everyone been handling parenting with public accounting? I’ve got a toddler and my wife is an accountant (industry), and we only have a few immediate family in the country- but they have health concerns. Busy season was rough, things are looking better now as things return to normal. Still working crazy hours if you count the daycare duties on top of utilization targets.

I ask because I’ve let my credit spending get a bit lax since moving and adopting a puppy recently, so I haven’t been paying them off in full every month like I used to (though still well above the minimum payment, and keeping utilization at 30% or under). It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.
