For more context our utilization target lets you have 4-5 weeks on the bench after all your PTO and still hit your target (and that’s for our most aggressive roles).

Yes

like

We don’t charge clients for your PTO, so it’s not utilization.

like

That’s why there is a concept of effective utilization followed all across the Big4. You just the change the denominator hours by subtracting hours of PTO.

This way someone who goes on say maternity leave, and is not in a position to bill the client for 6 weeks, will not lose out on their bonus.

like

Yes using PTO will drop your utilization but you should still take it.

like

It doesn’t “count against” your utilization per se. Utilization is billable hours/potential hours. Obviously PTO is not billable hours. It’s not deducted from potential hours. But our max utilization target is 85% and that’s for our most junior folks.

like

My point is it does count against utilization unless you plan to submit 40 hours of PTO and bill hours in the same week

like

Yes , any kind of PTO will affect your utilization. Have a friend who went on paternity leave and as a result his utilization fell below the target and he lost all his bonus.

@SC4 that makes more sense. Thankyou, I am sure some would find that information valuable. 🙂

Yah

Unfortunately yes

Hi,

Is this going to be a salary discussion or questions like strength and weakness, why do you want to join etc?

So this might be a better place to post this and ask this question: Uncle D has announced explicitly that most people won’t get a pay raise & bonus this year except for those promoted and high performers. Amid this crisis, are companies including other big 3, MBB, FAANG, boutique consulting firms still giving high raises and issue stocks? Can you share the impact from your firm?

Solid tips or strategies on cutting back on alcohol? My bf & I were moderate drinkers before the pandemic, but over the year I’m fairly confident we’ve become heavy drinkers (6-7days/wk).

I find it rly difficult to go cold turkey or cut by myself when he’s still drinking as “normal” and we share our living space. We’re aware of all the health risks, but that alone hasn’t changed us.
