Yes, or work from the Bain office. Some teams are traveling, but most aren’t.

If you are in digital/Advanced Analytics, it’s very flexible. You actually work fully remote within the country / State.

Thanks. Do you know about the G&A consulting function?

FYI you are confusing where you get staffed with what Bain means by “local office staffing model”.

Local office staffing simply means that you will usually be staffed on the same team with other people from your home office. That team could work with a client in any geographic location in the country and you could be traveling there. There is a tendency to avoid staffing a case with a team that would have to do cross-country travel regularly/weekly but it does happen.

To my knowledge there are no offices that staff exclusively to local (geographic) cases.

As an example, there are clients in my home office city that are staffed entirely by teams from other offices.

Thanks. I would be joining a practice that staffs nationally as opposed to local office staffing from what I’ve been told. Not sure if that makes a difference

I’ve been a freelance print production designer for many years, and usually on-site in the before times. Now I work remote, and am finding it uneasy dealing with billing. Before I always billed hourly, which made sense, but it’s becoming an issue now. Some companies don’t have a full days’ work, so it seems wrong to bill full days, and it allows me to juggle projects for different companies, but my billable hours are down. I know I should bill a daily rate, but not sure that will fly. Thoughts?

Curiosity question - I’m a naturally very chatty senior and I’ve noticed that the staff 1s who are starting remotely and living at their parents’ home (which makes a ton of sense with the remote working) that I’ve been working with seem to want to chat about both semi related work stuff and non work stuff a fair amount. If you’re a staff living at home, do you enjoy having seniors who will chat with you about random things or would you rather just get your work done and log off?
