Nope, businesses don’t care. They pay us and want us on site.

Hope so.. maybe companies will do more WFH and thus have less office space and in person need... requiring less travel on our part

For some yes, for others no. Overall, probably noticeably less. Companies are already starting to negotiate real estate contracts with WFH in mind. They‘re the ones that pay for us to eat fancy dinners and stay in nice hotels. If I were signing the bill and I could save a significant chunk of my project fees by having the consultants work remotely, I absolutely would. Fly them out for kickoff, mid-project report, and end of project report, with partner & director alternating weeks—one of them on site for 1 day each week.

Maybe every other week, kinda depends on the consulting type

100% yes.

Just wanted to share this with people who would understand. Had 4 IEP meetings last week. When the case manager asked one mother if she had any concerns she said her only concern was that her kindergarten son with autism loved me so much she was afraid of him being promoted and being out of my room. I told her not to worry, in our program I will have him for 2 more years. Boy that made me feel good.

Partners or whomever can help me understand about billing and hours. To keep things simple, let’s say you only have one staff to work 1,700 billable hours a year on a $60k salary and you have only one job that and the rate charged to the client is $300/hour and an projected hours budget of 1,700 hours. So ideally you would have revenue of $510k. If the staff takes less time partners make less money and if they take more time partners make more money while the staff keeps the same salary?
