What is the charge out and utilization rate at different levels?

Just curious, how many available hours do you use in your utilization Calc? We use 2,080.

I wish admin utilized Tier 1 supports with teachers. Smiles, appreciations and acknowledging ones efforts would do a great deal to boost morale and climate. I just don’t understand what that is so hard to do.

Got offer from BCG for ECT. Read numerous comments about ECT being not attractive compared to Generalist track. Also heard challenges about billability/utilization. Any views/ guidance appreciated!
I am not super keen to become a partner (selling) and main reason to join will be working with different clients, smart talented people and a good brand. End goal (at the moment atleast) is to stay for few years and return to the industry. 15 YOE

Does anyone here have experience with military leave impacting utilization? My reserve unit does “super drills” so without AT, I’m already missing time. I’m thinking I should ask for an adjusted tgt.

Man, I am so tired of the whole concept of timesheets, billable hours, utilization, etc. that is public accounting.

I had 60 day late payment of 35 bucks in Jan. It was new Amex Hilton card I opened for stupid points. It was reported and my credit score had been consistently dropping from last 6 months. It was 780 and now is 735. I realized this 3 months and been paying my credit card bills immediately. Infact I have overpaid each card to have negative balance so my credit utilization is almost zero. What else I can do to repair the damage. I am applying for homeloan and this is big issue to get best rate

Has anyone ever utilized their company’s sabbatical program?

Thinking about starting to take annual (or more likely, every other year) sabbaticals once I’ve reached a level I’m happy with in the company (not racing for more promotions)

If you’d never, ever take a sabbatical, would appreciate that insight too.

Can you please share diversity job boards and organizations that your Firm has partnered with or utilized to hire diverse talent within investment management industry? Thanks in advance!

Is it an analyst's fault for low utilization?

Hey there! I am an RN specialized in surgery trying to break into remote utilization work, specifically review of insurance claims. Does anyone have experience going from bedside into health insurance with no experience? I have less than a year of nursing experience but ready to make the switch because of working during the pandemic, getting my masters, and crap pay.

Is it normal for directors to indirectly tell you to bill 45hrs to a client with no cap to get your utilization up and to increase their collections? There's probably 5hrs of actual work for me to do. First year in consulting, so I don't know if this is the norm. I've also had another scenario where the invoice was too low and was asked to add a few more hours to the bill

A previous employer reached out and offered me a Senior Product Designer role with a 40% increase base salary. I am considering this, as I have been feeling under utilized at my current role + dealing with of uncertainty lately. But I would be forfeiting a lot of RSUs if I leave. I am in the middle of my vesting period (2/4 yrs), and this year alone would have 256 shares vesting (~$500 share price). The new role will come with shares, but at a small share price. Anyone had similar experience?

At what point is your utilization considered too high?

KPMG 🐠 - NYC advisory associate, was an experienced hire last year but missed the cut off for VC, so this year will be my first chance for VC. My utilization is good, what kind of raise can I expect?

How to get your credit score higher? Mines been stagnant for a while. Pay off CC in full every month and only at 3-5% utilization on average. Reasons listed for “lower credit” were: I don’t have enough loans / large loans, and my oldest account is only 8 years. The age thing I get but I’ve never understood the loans criteria. Isn’t lack of loans a good thing?

I’m a Canadian citizen but I never lived in Canada.
Currently in 🇨🇭 and planning to move to Canada for the experience. However it seems that the salaries are super low compared to the US or Switzerland. Is that because of the high taxes? Does $82k in Vancouver/Calgary allows you to live decently or am I gonna struggle? Current TC USD92k (CHF83k) and it would take a big hit by moving to Canada. But at the same time 🇨🇭 is one of the most expensive countries in the world.

What are the risks of the ETH 2.0 project in the summer?
So far, everyone has been treating the summer as when ETH skyrockets but no mention of risk the value going down-- anything you'd be worried about, other than ETH 2.0 generally not being implemented well?

Hi everyone! :) My husband and I recently moved to Atlanta (midtown) and we were wondering if there are any couples on here who would like to meet and grab some food or drinks? We are 27 and 30 years old and would like to meet some people that we can just kick it with, grill, watch sports, go hiking etc. Even better if you are in a interracial and/or expat-US citizen relationship but don’t have to. Looking forward to meeting you :).

Currently a career level 9 Management Consultant at Accenture. December makes one year for me at the company. I love my team, the company, and the WLB, but would love to make more money. ✨Which firms do you guys recommend I consider?✨ Money, WLB, diversity, and opportunity are super important to me. Thanks!

Glad to see the bowl grew from 1 to 5. Modest, but gains nonetheless! Do elective procedures actually come back after covid-19 peaks? Clients already brainstorming how to build trust post-pandemic ..

Can I negotiate with Accenture HR, saying I have offer in hand. Will it be verified?

(Ps : HR initially said they will increase if there is counter offer )

Rolling off my current project in 1M. Had two projects I interviewed for, but the one I wanted (Project A; more cutting edge work) did not get back to me in time so I had to accept a position with Project B (which is a great team but not a challenging role / not where I want to grow my career) in order to not hit the bench. Now Project A has come back with a position, even if for the future. How can I quickly get to PrA w/o burning bridges with PrB folks? These are long term Fed contracts.
