Can we expect consulting companies to allow us to opt for hometown as the base location, if we’re willing to travel to clients ( whenever required ) ? Looking for some genuine / honest / serious feedback on this, from those who are either availing this or know of someone who’s. Thanks in advance.

No.. if you are in real consulting, that will not work and most consulting companies would not allow it. Consulting is mostly about relationships and you dont build them over zoom calls !

Officially and initially NO, but later on yes that is possible. It will depend on how your network is with people. If you have a strong network then no one will say anything

Hey All, working with EY in 1MLP. Been asked to vacate from my place in Harrow by landlord. Looking for a 1 BHK. Not sure if it'll make sense to move nearer to central London (work is client facing, but I didn't need to travel on my current engagement). Not sure what are the travel requirements on the next gig.
Any suggestions around places to stay?
