Are Consultants at Deloitte being asked to travel to clients? If so how much? I know its down to 50% and client by client basis, but if the client asks you to come out are you able to decline / do they all want you to go out to them? Thx!

No one knows yet, very few people/clients traveling. There are going to be a majority of clients wanting remote, some hybrid in person, some on site 3+ days per week.

Deloitte will staff remote workers on remote clients, and I presume will do as pre-covid and attempt to staff local resources as much as possible on local in-person clients, ESPECIALLY hybrid clients where travel really won’t work. For consistently in-person clients there will likely be a combination of local and travel resources as before.

My thought is that Deloitte should formally take practitioner preference as part of Talent so that remote-preferring colleagues get to work on remote clients, and travel-preferring colleagues can, with both groups being expected to serve local clients as before. Obviously not everyone will get their preference, but would be dumb if Deloitte lost lots of people over inefficient staffing to preference.

The guidance to date is “practitioner choice” through Labor Day. What remains to be seen is if after that point we’ll roll out a differentiated talent model for those that don’t/won’t travel. Im personally enforcing a “never again regular 3-4-5” model. That means some weeks/months will be 100%, but I’d expect I land somewhere in the 25% travel range. I go into it eyes wide open knowing that I may have less opportunity or may miss out on some projects/accounts/sales, but it’s what’s going to keep me in consulting longer term.

I like that perspective, thanks! Do you think that having/wanting ~25% travel wouldn't be allowed, as in, they will require travel? I agree having less travel means the career is much more manageable long-term

Yes, travel starting in September.

We are a client serving business. If you decline an explicit client request you better have a dang good reason.

And you're thinking travel back to normal schedule?
