Hello consulting peers. I have a question hoping to get clarification. What does 100% travel mean? Some told me it’s leave Sun PM return Fri PM while others said leave Mon AM return Thu PM. So ...

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.

like

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.

I have offers from both United Health Group and Atlassian for a Senior Financial Analyst position. Similar Comp (Atlassian slightly higher due to stock options).

In the long term, does Atlassian look better on a resume/work experience due to the Tech/Software space? Seems like their culture is great, but a much higher work load due to the nature of the company. Thanks! Happy to answer DM's too

Get equity refreshes every year. Would it be smarter to cash out $15k-$20k of that to pay debt vs. a HELOC at ~5% given that will still require mthly payments
