3.50% was the target when I was there. Jk. I think it was 85%

Mine is 65%
Joined last year and was 'on the beach' for quite some time.

Utilization doesn't count in year 1!

105%

Ibm1, this is crazy ... 105% means you have no life

115😥

How does utilization not count year 1?

Let me clarify - are you an MBA hire?

Yes

I think targets are somewhere around 90-95%.

This is based on S& resources being budgeted 10hours on an 8hour day

Yes @S1

Hah! If you're in FS, we might know each other. Anyway, it's not supposed to matter as your RP / demand manager are more or less responsible for staffing you in Year 1, as you have no network
