Do AAEs travel for work ever? Or is it super rare and mainly more senior?

Barely ever. I can’t see the need. Listen and learn, young one. Your time is coming and you’ll never have more access and less responsibility than you do right now. Make it count.

I traveled as an AAE multiple times. It makes sense for AAEs to travel because you have the lowest bill rate. But your boss has to trust you and you need to tell them you're interested. If you want to - slay the game... and raise your hand!

I wouldn’t send an AAE. Likely it’d be travel for client meetings and I wouldn’t put you on the front lines. Typically mid level to director level travels. VP and higher are too expensive and work across too many things to travel as much.

Traveling *for work* sucks ass

Depends on the client, assignment, and how much trust I have in my AAE. Agree with @E1... if you are awesome, I’ll be more than happy to send you out for travel!

I’ve seen it when there’s (pardon the expression) grunt work that needs to be done on a trip - catering/food on a shoot, presentation books at a large client meeting. you need a set of cheap hands that won’t be missed in the office.

Never seen AAE sent alone. Brought along for learning purposes, sure!

For the record I'm an AAE who is about to travel this week (on a trip with clients to an event as the account person). One of my coworkers told me it was unusual but I wasn't sure if they meant for our team or in general for an AAE. Thanks for the insight everyone!

Rare but if local client and if working at a higher level, it’s possible

If you have a good manager 😉

I was sent out multiple times alone as an AAE with clients but definitely had to earn it first. Prove your worth and broach the subject and it can definitely happen!
