Do most people here still travel Monday-Thursday? My last two projects have been Tues-Thurs as necessary and it’s made all the difference. Wondering if this is becoming more prevalent in the industry.

all my projects over 5 years are no longer M-Th, huge difference... and partner made it really flexible having us work out coverage. It really is who you work for :)

I fly Monday night-Thursday afternoon and I can’t even imagine flying in Monday morning. That extra half day at home makes a huge difference

Accenture does Monday- Thursday for the most part but has been flexible for team members depending on the team lead

Depends on the project... in my last project, EM literally was micromanaging to the point of why is someone not in the office by 9:30 am. They wanted everyone on site to “work together” and yet, different workstreams just sit separately.

I think KPMG1 means on a travel day. 9:30 is crazy early to be at the client site if you are traveling from any significant distance. I get into the office around 11:30 on Mondays.

Doing coast to coast M-F right now 🤷‍♂️

Ouch, that’s brutal. I did M-F last week and the weekend felt so short.

Serious question - is there a reverse FIRE strategy? I like the idea of saving and retiring early, but the one hiccup I see (and sorry if this is grim) is if you die earlier than expected. I’d be worried that I would minimize lifestyle and fun for retirement at 50 but I’d die at 49. How about a way to work 9 months out of the year and retire/travel/relax for 3 months? This way you guaranteed your dreams/etc. are fulfilled
