what should I do to make it at least 40 hrs/week? already reached out to a senior but still got nothing to do. i'm afraid it will impact my utilization.

PwC peeps: I have over 135% utilization. Has anybody used G&A code instead of the vacation code? Since I don't see that I'll be on the bench anytime soon and that 30% has to go somewhere. Tips, ideas?

Experienced hire. At D for 10 months. Strong and consistent performance feedback. Utilization and PRD boxes checked. SM suggested early promotion. Is this a real possibility? Or a ploy to...

Seeking advice! I received a job offer today and definitely want to accept but have 4 weeks of FTO on my calendar mid June through mid July. My current firm has an 80% utilization target and I’m in the 90s and booked the time towards the end of our fiscal year (july31st) to make sure it wouldn’t affect my utilization. How do I go about not missing out on this time off? I’m exhausted and need a break but it looks like the new firm would like to staff me immediately if possible.

What were some challenges y’all faced this week?

I’ll start. Trying to get non local resources utilized. National Leadership thinks this is the answer to our problems but local leadership is hesitant.

I have 100k of credit thru CCs, maxed out one for 25k (doing renovations) and my credit dropped 100 points, I thought the amount of debt doesnt matter so much as the % of utilization am I wrong?

Have any respiratory therapists found jobs OTHER than being a clinical RT? I want to possibly change careers, but I am finding that a lot of jobs (clinical liason, utilization review, etc) want you to have a nursing degree, not a respiratory degree. I feel like as an RT we are limited to jobs.

Promoted to SSE with 25% hike and VP as 9% . I had received ACE award in Q3 . I have also maintained utilization report 100% still I got less VP. Can I ask manager to revisit the component

In light of all discussions on FB, it seems to me that individuals at our firm have been removed out of EY beyond PIP related issues.
To help the community brace itself, please provide facts on your Utilization, level, leads, YoE at EY, and network.
My experience seems that the ones let go, had weak network.

How does it feel to earn less than US Consultants while also struggling for utilization

Welcome everyone! I’m so happy this is being utilized. A little background on me, I got my Bachelor’s when I was 20 and immediately went into both Child & Adult Protection careers. I then worked as a crisis counselor and a behavioral health specialist, and now I’m 26 at Monroe Plan for Medical Care working on expanding our Health Home Program into a new county where I’m our only employee!! My goals are to grow financially so that I can give back to our underserved populations even more.

Any Monitor Deloitte people in here based out of Southeast Asia? What is the avg. salary raise (base + performance bonus) should I expect from 1st year Consultant to 2nd year C? Current performance scatterplot is at highest top right, utilization rate 90%. Thanks!

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.

Someone correct me if I’m wrong… for PDM Analysts/Senior Analysts with 93% utilization target, working 40 hours a week, factoring in holidays/collective disconnect days… there’s 1 day of PTO available across the entire performance year in order to meet utilization by Jan 8? Is that even legal? Lol

Can someone explain utilization and realization to me? I just wrapped up my first week on an engagement (9/30 client) and am a first year at a national firm. I understand billable hours and the budget

True life: I was 10 points below my utilization target this past year. I received a 1 rating and was promoted. Interested to see how the minimum utilization requirements will pan out this cycle.

I’m on a part-time rotation with another team. I regularly ask the manager for work and barely receive any. Worried since my utilization is taking a hit. Any recommendations??

Anyone have an app or Excel spreadsheet they use to keep track of utilization? We just switched systems and our new system doesn’t give us a real time balance of our utilization rate (cont)

Curious about net worth milestones. How long did it take you to go from 100k - 1m? What was your “story” (income/savings rate/asset allocation)? I realize many probably achieved this in the bull market we’ve been in, but still curious.

How am I supposed to guesstimate value of options in an offer? Like, I understand that their value isn't guaranteed, but that's not even what I'm asking -- how do I find out how many options the company has overall, ie am I getting 1000 options in a company with 100,000 or 500,000? how do i compare strike price? I feel completely lost...

Any advice on How can I better prep partnership and Corp tax returns / fully grasping content of different work papers and adding it to returns?
