Reach out to deployment. Then study for cpa, do some learning WBLs, practice using ATLAS, if you know your next engagement, get access and read UTB, some PY workpapers, and then do some amazon shopping.

Try and find some bd work. Start developing the skills to identify opportunities as soon as you can.

how about my utilization though? does that make a huge impact?

Read about a technical issue you’re not familiar with, or business news. Both will help you

EY OP: your utilization is going to tank no matter what you do while on the beach (that’s what we called it). Accept it and work harder/smarter in your next engagement and maybe this won’t happen again!

I had a technical interview with IBM last wednesday and on thursday they had set up a managerial round for discussion. It went well and the manager asked me about my expectations. We had few discussion regarding the salary and finally I was told that HR will get back to me. It has been 4 days but I didn't receive any call from the HR. Should I consider the fact that they might have rejected me even after all those discussions ? Shouldn't the HR atleast have a discussion ? IBM Tata Consultancy

Any Audit S1 in the Bay Area office who can share their salary? Thinking to move. Thanks!

Partners or whomever can help me understand about billing and hours. To keep things simple, let’s say you only have one staff to work 1,700 billable hours a year on a $60k salary and you have only one job that and the rate charged to the client is $300/hour and an projected hours budget of 1,700 hours. So ideally you would have revenue of $510k. If the staff takes less time partners make less money and if they take more time partners make more money while the staff keeps the same salary?
