Thoughts on burning additional client hours (I.e. over 45)? My mindset is that it is better not to piss of the M/ P who will be conducting your review than to have utilization of 120%+

Uh do what you have to get shit done

Correct

Umm it isn't about your utilization. It's about reporting compliance. Usually if they go over budget due to the extra hours, the client will negotiate some kind of a discount so everything is on the up and up. Although run it by the MP first before booking the extra time so there are no surprises.

Personally, I would rather burn hours than give my manager reason for less that stellar reviews of my performance
