Ummm if you don't like where you live, you should move. Traveling 4 days a week to somewhere awesome will always suck on more than one level.

Build a network you poop. Consulting 100

Sometimes clients don't want to pay for analysts to travel. Network and find one that will! Or prove your value and someone will want to fly you out.

With the new regional model, this will likely get increasingly difficult.

Yeah im a relatively new analyst and all three projects I have been on were local. Two to three hour commute everyyyyy day (total, not each way at least)

Looking for referrals for a Technical Sales Executive position that is Remote (USA), possibly in the industrial sector. Last year I made $109k at AT&T so I'm hoping to at least stay in the same ball park but want a change. I have lots of experience selling IT/telecom, but I also have a Mechanical Engineering background so I'm a good fit for a wide range of technical sales. I have been thinking a role in the industrial sector with a longer sales cycle may be a good fit, can travel up to 25%
