    Also you can get involved in other EY initiatives (we have different societies, clubs, counselling family tasks, business development work - lots to get involved with), do trainings/learnings, etc.

    Your utilization is normally expected to be around 60%

    You are also compared to your cohort's utilization percentage

    I do think you should try your best to get as much project experience as possible! But if you do have free time, then you can do the above :)
