Consulting firms that don’t require lots of travel? I’m familiar with Slalom, LEK...any other firms that try and keep people local? Travel is straining family, but would like to stay in consulting.

Are people really so sure these non-travel companies are more hours than those who travel?

Agree. The sweat shop label is used pretty liberally with us. I think our hours are in line with our peers

It's a trade-off. If you give up willingness to travel you either compromise on total hours, advancement potential, or salary.

There's no free lunch, but there is a situation that potentially fits your needs better than present.
