God damn. I would kill for a local gig. Traveling every week Sunday through Thursday (4.5 hr flights one way) for the past year and a half and supposedly to continue for the next year is killing me. And that's not hyperbole. My back hurts, I have no social life, I either drink or take pills to get to sleep, guys dump me bc I'm seemingly always gone this sh*t blows.

I was local for a year and a half, been travelling for the past seven months - I prefer the travel project. But to be fair the work is better than my local ones and it's only a 1.5 hour flight from home location.

Don't really see the appeal IMO. Spending all that time in airports, on planes, and in hotels, yuck.

TBH*

Most federal projects are local. Just sayin.

OP- I never have had a local project tbh. And I'm a Sr. Analyst. I was also SF based, but none of my friends traveled. Maybe it's luck, too.

Wanted to know how different is management consulting in the US via-a-vis India?

Background : working as front end consultant in India. Daily routine is opening laptop at 9AM and doing work till 10ish PM, if the project is tight (which it is in majority cases) closing laptop by 1 or 2 am. Travel depends on project. Sr Managers have no sense of personal space in most companies. Money is goood.
