Tbh, there’s been a lot of buzz about this from staff level. Have not heard a single partner talk about it. Work on your utilization, networking and business development activities. The firm needs to keep people in their seats to keep the business going and anticipate work to come as well.

Made $190K this year as an SA, about to be at $240K TC now that I'm promoted.

Not quite yet. I think consulting leaders are still traumatized from the whiplash of layoffs in early 2020 and then a 2 year hiring/attrition spree. Instead of layoffs, hiring will be curtailed. They will also be firmer on up/out and low performers, but not in big enough numbers to be truly considered shadow layoffs. That shadow layoff lever isn't really needed yet.

Our hiring targets are up for next year - and other than PEG we’re nearly sold out - so I think no

People who don’t submit their time daily, how do you remember what you did and for how long? I’ve always just submitted each timer as soon as I finish a task—“call with x re y” really doesn’t take that long even if I’m busy, and if I don’t do it immediately I’ll forget all those little I did in the morning by the time I go to bed. No shade at all to those with different systems, just genuinely curious because I see a lot about catching up at month end on here and I have no idea how that works??
