All that matters is how you are compared to everyone else at your level in your group, the people you'll be measured against. If average utilization is 75% among your peers then you're great. If it's 105% then...well, you get the idea.

118% utilization and 380+ hours over standard. 3 months of travel. "Why am I not passing the exams?" My relationship partner asked? Now I am looking for a new job.

Hours over standard are what matter. If you bill 40hrs a week every week your utilization is at 100% for the year.

Utilization > snapshots > hours over standard > everything else

I’m struggling. I left an agency I liked last year due to growth limitations and since then I’ve worked at 2 different agencies and can’t seem to find my footing. The first one seemed like a good fit at first but then it turned out to not be the best place for me so I left. At my current agency I feel super undervalued. I’m always raising my hand and offering to help where I can and no matter what I do, I don’t feel utilized or valued or part of the team.It’s really taken a toll on my confidence

Do you pay your credit cards in full every month?

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.
