McKinsey & Company McKinsey & Company been working here one year and received pretty positive feedback. Given the expectation for people of my tenure to transition to EM in a year or so, I can’t see myself staying due to the WLB as an EM. I’m 35 and have 2 young kids. Can it even be realistically done? Would love to stay but I don’t see a balance which would keep my family happy. What options do I have from there?

Mon to Thu is 100%. Sometimes it goes mon- fri but that's coz you travel cross country for visiting various clients eg more frequent M-F for SM or above.
80% is Monday thru Thursday. 100% is Monday thru Friday. It’s simple math, 4 (days) divided by 5 (days) is .8 or 80% and 5/5 is 1 or 100%
It will vary by company or engagement. I would say in general that 100% means travel every week. At my company that usually means Mon-Thurs but some projects vary from that. That said we usually take a hard line on NO Sunday travel and very rare Friday. It does happen from time to time if a meeting can’t be moved but maybe once or twice during a project.
100% can mean different things in different situations. OP - this group can’t tell you since it can vary. Which is made clear by the responses you’ve received so far. Just ask in your particular situation.
100% travel means you're at the travel location for at least part of all 5 business days.
Do companies post 100% travel on job postings? The most I’ve seen is 80%
Semantics, if they're saying 80% then it's weekly, not "4 weeks on, 1 week remote". Call that whatever you want
Mon-Fri every week.
OP - it’s an expectation that you could be traveling 100% of your weeks to client site. Sometimes that will mean actual travel (out of your home city), for 4-5!days a week.
But it’s very dependent on the client situation. Often they’ll limit travel as a lever to save cost on the project, other times they’ll want you there 5 days a week. Some clients you’ll serve in the city you live in and therefore travel is just the normal daily commute.
