So, we have about a month and a half until the end of the Performance Year. What's your level and current utilization? (I know that we have searched to hours...)

I think I owe the firm utilization....

Btw, my utilization was 104% last year so maybe that will count for something?

OP - you're close enough to have it not be an issue

Consultant is 90%, sc 80%

Fed consultant is 89% and fed SC is like 85%. If It were 80, that would be great. Considering what a senior role I am playing on these proposals, it really would be great if I could get some kind of break. Time to buckle up and log some hours!

Whats Dc tech sc utilization-89?

Fed SC is 87%, unfortunately.

D9 - definitely make sure your counselor speaks to that director. Should be ok.

The practice leader is the same one who decides my pay, and he assured me it won't count against me because he knows I was accounted for

A recruiter at another B4 gave me a number much lower than what I’m currently making. Should I tell them how much im making now, which is admittantly at the very top of the SC band, or counter with a range that’s more than I’m making?
