I love having initiatives. Gives me more opportunities to meet new people and develop areas that I don't get a chance to on my project.

You must be new. We've reduced this significantly over the last 5 years.

They want us to focus on 2 major ones now and deliver more impact in each. No hours though

You're not doing extra work for free. You are salaried, not getting paid per hour. Doing initiatives gives you the chance to grow your skills and network so that you become a better consultant overall. If you are so against doing that, find another firm.

Didn't say I didn't like or didn't want to do them (well some of them) just feel that the amount of time spent working on firm initiatives on top of client work can sometimes be a little much. I have "impactful" initiatives but sometimes that means additional hours I may not always have available.

Agree with @OP to some extent. Impact should count more than hours.

Quality not quantity is true. But that seems to be changing with the new addition of job jar. Where you can waste your time with meaningful tasks.

Job jar?

Become an associate. No PRD required but non-tradition career path

D8 - Go get and industry job and work 8 - 4:30. Your extracurricular can then be softball and bowling. Plus maybe boredom, less pay, less career path, etc, but I bet your social life will be awesome. Anyway, for OP, the "job" is defined as client work plus firm work, so you have to do both.

Can someone explain how billable hours work? At a new agency and although I had to fill timesheets at my previous agencies, they were mainly used to ensure we weren’t over servicing a client/for setting the appropriate retainer for contract renewals. I asked ppl at my agency but haven’t gotten a proper explanation. I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
