No target but if you’re below 80% people will ask why.

No utilization target at individual contributor level at BCG

Varies by level but mostly in the 75% ish range is expected

Depends on the level. At junior levels, utilization is what's measured. At senior levels, it's client management, and sales

90% at Deloitte, lower for higher titles (e.g. 75ish SMs)

At D, when I was the SM on partnership track, my util was 20% but sales were $10m lead in my portfolio, in Canada. Managed revenue targets were $5-6m

Do they fire if you are below the rate?

Yes

95%

Varies by region and SL, but:
- Staff 98%
- Seniors 100%
- Managers 93%
- SM 65-85%

Ok I’m dumb and a nube college hire (not yet started) can someone explain utilization targets for me?

The percentage of total hours you work, that should be billable to the client or a firm initiative.

Yeah anything above 85% is good from what I’ve heard.
Anything below seems adverse when compared to >85% for promotion decisions

90%, I'm an associate.

Hello, I am looking to make a career change that starts at a minimum 75K salary. The economy is tough right now and I can no longer afford to stay in my current role. I have a bachelors degree in Sociology with experience in managed care, utilization management, & clinical admin.. Does anyone have any suggestions for a possible higher paying career that I would be qualified for based on my background?

During initial onboarding with the firm, does the first week or so count towards utilization or is there somewhat of a grace period?

Interesting. Let’s see if the uptick In cases continues to drive an uptick in hospitalizations and then in fatalities. Depends on how many of the cases are incidental or in very young people not prone to severe cases. But either way, look at the hospital capacity utilization figures! This is the untold story. Were we bending the curve to avoid unnecessary deaths due to overcrowded hospitals, or were we bending the curve to buy time for treatments and vaccine, or just to slow fatalities?

I’m struggling. I left an agency I liked last year due to growth limitations and since then I’ve worked at 2 different agencies and can’t seem to find my footing. The first one seemed like a good fit at first but then it turned out to not be the best place for me so I left. At my current agency I feel super undervalued. I’m always raising my hand and offering to help where I can and no matter what I do, I don’t feel utilized or valued or part of the team.It’s really taken a toll on my confidence

Busy season was rough, things are looking better now as things return to normal. Still working crazy hours if you count the daycare duties on top of utilization targets.
