Yeah the one where your offer gets rescinded and you stay at home full time.

Jokes aside, you are absolutely at the clients mercy and whilst you can make a case to your staffing/team why not to travel at the end it will be unavoidable to some degree. It is much much less than pre covid if it makes it any better

You’d have to get into more of a IP dev role. My former manager is on one at McK. Also I think they have super technical roles that stay home too as really strong programmers / data scientists need longer periods of deep work

Weekly travel gotta be a nightmare

I’ve been with my current company for a little over 5 years now and since the start of the pandemic have been WFH. I absolutely love WFH and have always wanted a position in which I could WFH. There is talk of bringing everyone back to the office full time and that’s not what I would like to happen. I’ve been searching for a new position in which it would be a remote role. My current company also said I am maxed out in term of what they are willing to pay salary wise.
