A friend of mine, a former World Bank economist is looking for consulting profiles that require minimum travel. She is open to MBB and Big 4. Which departments could she look into? Please help.

I’m surprised no one has mentioned the local-model consulting firms yet. I think Slalom would be a great fit. They’re on a local model.

Most MBB/B4 will require travel if there aren’t local
projects matching the skill set. Smaller firms are the way to go. Slalom is a good idea.

I’m not sure there is a specific type of consultant that doesn’t travel, it’s more about firms that don’t travel (i.e. LEK) or aligning yourself to something that keeps you close to home. I’m just a regular old strategy consultant, could be traveling 80%, but I live in a city that happens to have a high concentration of clients in the industry I specialize in, so all of my clients are local.

Bain is pretty good about giving moms local projects.

I would say target big cities ...easy to find projects in vicinity. E.g bay area, New York etc

Hey D - thanks for the suggestion. She is based out of Chicago. Cannot relocate considering she just had a baby. Would there be a consulting practice at Deloitte which requires min travel? Would appreciate the help

I have no idea what other firms don’t travel (I’m with the Big 4), I’ve heard LEK doesn’t travel, but otherwise it might just be boutique, smaller firms which she would just have to research directly.
