What % utilisation is considered good?
I know it depends on firm to firm, but in general?
Also, is it wise to put in CV or say in interviews about your utilization if its good?

Talking about your utilization during an interview would be the most Deloitte thing ever to do.

Ignore what everyone else has said, they're laughably outdated in their thinking. Utilization should absolutely go in your resume if you're over 120%, preferably in the same line as your firm and title (e.g. "Deloitte Consulting - Business Technology Analyst - 125% utilization").

Utilization is the primary metric we hiring managers look at, so it's the only way to get my attention when I'm sifting through a stack of 300 resumes.

Over 100% if you're going to bring it up. Also, I would focus on what you did to get such a high utilization - e.g. extra trainings or learings you proactively took to land engagements...moreover, utilization should only be a talking point at consultant or Sr. Consultant levels. Above those sales, leadership, revenue managed should be your talking points.

like

If your short staffed and work across multiple projects you can easily be over 100%. I would never talk about it but it really has nothing to do with managing it’s more a product of the teams bandwidth and capabilities. To add if you have inexperienced work force and need to train as part of delegation that is another factor your not considering.

At Deloitte, you just need to hit the minimum required - anything over 100% will probably get you dinged in a negative way

Over 9000

Yea, include your pets name as well in your resume.

Make sure to post your utilization on LinkedIn, giving your coach and resource manager a shoutout since you couldn’t have achieved something so great without them.
