No WFH benefits. Travel depends on the specific account - there are people traveling every week and there are people who never travel. There are a lot of fully-remote employees and our hybrid expectations for return to office haven’t been detailed yet (return is delayed to at least Q4).
Thank you! In management consulting, do you have the ability to let people in charge of staffing know that you prefer not to travel?
@PS3, MC can't and won't be own its own island forever. Utilization will become a more critical consideration evenrually (to what degree is unclear).
@OP, I would advise you to follow what @PS3 is saying, but keep the following in-mind:
Management consulting leaders are a risk averse bunch. They're expensive, they travel a ton (PRE-COVID) and face time has always been a huge asset for them. Thinking that any top tier MC firm would be very flexible on travel (and stay that way) is foolish.
If travel is your hard line in the sand, I would strongly reconsider management consulting, join a consultancy that explicitly manages down travel (e.g. Slalom etc), or go to industry.
MBB (having left there recently) are struggling with changing travel norms, and they lean towards the status quo, not uprnding it.
