Utilization is only direct billable work - I.e. non revenue generating work - some companies will have certain deviations if working full time on major firm initiative so your rating isn’t impacted

Who, pray tell, would you intend to bill those hours to exactly? You are literally helping win the work so in the future the client can be billed........

PRD work isn’t part of utilization, it’s on the firm initiative side, still good to do.

To help the community brace itself, please provide facts on your Utilization, level, leads, YoE at EY, and network.
