Project Fit

like

For those who decide being out by 5 every day is more important than good career development. Definitely nothing wrong with that, you’ll work fewer hours but have a much narrower and less likely path of advancement.

What was Project Fit?

I've been wanting to transfer to campus recruiting ALL THE TIME! If that's what you like, go for it!

Project Fit was the rightsizing initiative this past spring at PwC where we cut a bunch of administrative positions and combined a bunch of positions to save overhead cost.

Recruiting teams in the fall work horrendous hours.

I second PwC 2. Non client facing positions are the first to get axed to save costs. depending on the job the hours aren't all that much better. In my mind doing potentially a similar amount of work for less pay and much less job security makes no sense.

like

Not to mention, those that survived Project Fit are not working 8 hour days. All of those gaps need to be filled, and their compensation is minimal compared to client services.

PwC3 - Thank you.

After Project Fit not much opportunity. Very risky for job stability too

With the firms focus on automation and general push for leveraging of technology I would stay away from this area if possible. This was once again brought to the forefront during the recent fall partner meetings.

PwC looking for transfers like these. Talk to your partner coach or another partner that is sympathetic. Or casually investigate if IA is accepting transfers. In Los Angeles definitely.

Hi Fishes

A bit off topic but relevant.

Did anyone hear abt TekFog &
Persistent Systems Limited ? Did they develop it ? What's going on ? I wanted to apply (location preference) but am worried now if company is into these sort of unethical activities even more so if they don't even know about it.

Does anyone has any insights into it beyond the company blog post claiming they are not involved. Also how is the work culture there, are these sort things even believable for such company ?

I started at a new firm this year in January. I had a billable goal that was given to me mid year of around 1750 house for the year. I am nowhere near that and definitely will not meet the goal. I had so many non billable hours I was forced to take when I first came in. I worked my ass off in busy season. At my previous firm I never fell short of hours as it was B4. This firm is mid sized and more focused on WLB. My question is how bad do you think this will affect my comp??

like

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?
