Message Name: Seeking benchmark
Date Posted: 01/15/2002
Message: I work at a Management Consulting firm which uses a 2000 billable hour per annum benchmark to peg bonus levels for all staff members below the rank of director (and implicitly to sow nervousness amongst the ranks). I've heard of other firms which expect 1600 or so from their consultants, but am hoping to get my hands on a few more examples. I'm interested in this as a reflection of how firms balance a desire to engender development of intellectual capital with a need to book revenue.
