Campus hire ( Tier 2 consulting firm ) told during interviews, and early onboarding travel is by preference. Been on bench since sept. Now they want me to travel in a new project, and I can't due to family obligations. What is the best way to ask to be assigned to a new role ( same unit) that requires no travel and alligns with my skills and major? I’m just really scared they’ll fire me

Thank you.

Travel may be by preference but if the only roles available are travel, then you have to travel. Everything is by preference as long as you can be billable but if you can’t, then preferences don’t matter. If there is a non travel role on the same team, ask about it, but sounds like you’re running out of options.

I’m definitely billable and they know it for my role. I don’t understand why are they making such pressure now that I’ve joined. Could’ve easily landed another remote gig 1 year ago.
