Hybrid work seems to be the way. You’ll be all good working from home and only coming in a couple of times a month I’d have thought. Obviously depends on your project team etc but you’d definitely not be the only one living miles away from the office so working from home a lot.

Thank you for confirmation!

Honestly my team doesn’t “require” us to come in at all, I just do sometimes. Depends on the team :)

Additional Posts in Londoners in Consulting

Within my first year of Consulting, really struggling with the hours amongst other things. Spoken to a couple of people internally and the advice is to get on to projects with bigger budgets and therefore bigger teams/more support. I want to wait until I hit the one year mark before making a decision on whether Consulting is for me or not. Curious to hear from other experienced hires..how is/was your first year?
