It varies by staff level and team, but I think it’s 70% or 75% for everyone in my team, all managers or higher. Most of us are well above that. I’m over 100% this year.

85% for seniors for us

I know about PwC but was wondering about the others. We end up being over 100%.

I’m in my 2nd year in audit. I want to pivot into management consulting within a big 4 or MBB. Has anyone seen someone make this lateral movement? I’m not sure how feasible that is and what steps to take. I’m also down to discuss further with whoever is comfortable in connecting.
