Business class travel for domestic: whats your firms' policy? Deloitte you can only travel business for flights over 7hrs, then again its project and level dependent. The onetime I requested business class flight to London my SM didn't approve due to client budget. I'm in Chicago. @Mckinsey, BCG, Bain?

Any flight >90min

I am in europe. All international flights are business class. Domestic if over > 3 hours.

@SM It is 3 hours total time. Some remote mining sites or oil fields might not be easily accessible by a single flight and might require multiple legs.

>3.5h

Total flight time

What about Bain?

Specially interested in Bain Europe

Any flight over 4 hours I think. It’s different if your internal or doing trainings, but for client travel >4 hours

>4 hours for us, and needs to be billable. Internal travel usually economy. Don’t think there’s any international / domestic distinction, just flight time

I live in Chicago, our >90m policy is basically first class chi to any city, it's amazing

Really? I always traveled business to London, our policy allows it.

It sounds like you had a project budget issue, either they didn’t build in international T&E in the SOW or your SM traveled more often and needed the funding.

Hey guys, I am in a dilemma right now and I am hoping to hear your take on my situation.

I just started a marketing-related job. It's a small setup backed by some VCs in developing platforms for the travel industry. And for context, it was referred by a friend of mine.

And then I just received another job offer - it's a comms role in a cryptocurrency trading platform (think along the lines of Binance).

Should I burn the bridge and take up the new job offer? How to explain my sudden departure?

Recently started my own firm and interested in others thoughts. Are there resources out there for practical advice or is it only something that comes with experience?

But if a client asks me is it better to marry my fiance in her home country, bring her here on a K-1 or have her visit on a B-2, that's not learned from a book or webinar. How does one learn how to evaluate new cases?

I will be coming on bench in 10 days from testing background.
Can anyone please suggest the project name from where on-site is possible.

I hate this job, it just doesn’t fit my style.

My philosophy is to be as brief, to the point and no-nonsense as possible. Better, easier and cheaper for the client, and less hassle for me. I’m an efficient guy.

However, partners tell me I need to write more both in volume and detail, and that my hours are low.

When I send stuff to clients, they are happy, and most of my clients contact me directly. Seems partners worry about my style not amassing enough hours, not that it’s not good enough
