Second year associate with below target utilization. Last year in the CRT, I was at tier 4, again because of a below expected utilization. Can I be fired this time? My snapshots on client are good tho

Not necessarily his fault. Leadership hordes because a project IS GOING to sign next week every week. Why I tell my coachees signed work trumps all.

Hmm thought they usually had to have something else to give you below tier three. How low is it?

(Contd) though and I have a okayish story for what I was doing when on bench.

I would say that its a pattern and youre on the layoff list if your group ever does cuts. I don't think they would just fire you outright for it though

I’m at just about 70%

Well what were you doing the rest of the week?

You seem fine. 70% is different than 50% utilization, and if your snapshots are good, you’ll probably get a 3 rating.

I’ve got about 20 years cross channel experience in marketing, split between big brands and startups, and I’m considering pivoting into a data science/data analyst role. I know it will initially be a step back in comp but is it at all realistic for a person with certificate level experience in data analysis but a decent marketing management background to expect $150-200k comp or is that mostly for degreed candidates (or not realistic at all)? Any guidance here is greatly appreciated.
