Someone correct me if I’m wrong… for PDM Analysts/Senior Analysts with 93% utilization target, working 40 hours a week, factoring in holidays/collective disconnect days… there’s 1 day of PTO available across the entire performance year in order to meet utilization by Jan 8? Is that even legal? Lol

I have heard that busy season at EY is crazy, though coming from D, this should not be a concern, however I am too scared to jump into a deeper well hence any advice/opinion will be really appreciated.
