Pretty typical. Hours are 40-60 depending on project and timing. Travel depends on the project. Many people in the Chicago office are on local projects for now. We do some with the strat team but not much. You have some voice in staffing, you go where you’re needed and what the projects needs are.

Yep. I’m in it. In that office. Joined a few years ago. Younger group. Growing fast. People are good. Smart, fun, down to earth

Do you know what the hours/travel is like along with kinds of projects you do? Do you guys collaborate with the strat team often? Also, do you have a choice between getting on procurement vs operations projects?
