Shouldn’t you always be applying for jobs regardless of your utilization?

Is there a reason why you’re below target?

In my experience when people miss utilization targets and there’s a explanation like this there’s usually not an issue. It may be hard to get a great rating, but assuming you don’t have any other issues in your story you should be fine.

It’s people with low utilization and no explanation- or the explanation is no one wanted to staff them - that need to worry.

Maybe start applying for projects and book the return flight from Rio?

Shit me too... but it’s only my first year at the firm.

Don’t worry... I am working for you... 100% utilization:)

I have a in person(online, 4 hours - 4 people) technical interview coming up and I have been practicing my coding for the past 3 weeks. The only thought I've been having is "what if I can't solve the coding question?" I am still fairly new to the software engineer scene and the position is for a level 1 software engineer.
Does it essentially end my chances if at any point I can't solve the question? I mean I will definitely attempt to talk it through, ask question, but no progress in code. 🤷

Anyone knows the chances of location being changed after receiving the offer and getting tagged to a project?

I have not yet accepted the offer.
