McKinsey & Company Hi Consultants, someone told me that the consultants they know hardly travel anymore post-pandemic. Is that true? Job reqs still say 80%. I think I'd enjoy consulting but dont want to travel every week....

If you live in Denver and want to work in life science you will probably travel regularly. If you want to work with PE firms or investment banking clients and you live in London you might never travel.

Just be aware that, from my experience, there is rarely travel to glamorous locations. Travel sounds great until it means suburban/rural location every week, staying in a hotel off the highway and eating fast causal for most meals.

Nope! I work in People & Org so I work across functions. I do tend to specialize in Life Sciences and most have their headquarters in suburbs. But have also worked in CPG and it was similar.

For a lot of us it’s become 0-20%, but it’s client dependent. I could roll onto my next project and go from 0% to 80% overnight.

I get some say, but if there is a true need for my specific skill set, I might be strongly pushed. Or it might be the only good project aligned to my skills where I could take other ones that will not be conducive to my development/goals.

When asking any kind of questions on consulting, i advise you use specific geo bcoz otherwise responses will be all over the place.

Started Summer 2020 and haven’t traveled once.

Went from weekly travel for 7 years (as in m-th every single week of my career) to traveling once in the past 2.5 years, and even that was for internal.

Definitely seeing a pattern with accenture!

Can I just vent on how annoyed I am with the increase in “priority boarding” of people that are able bodied? I am happy to let them on first. But I think they should get off last. So many times they are limping or in a wheelchair boarding. And then when we land that are the first to jump up and scurry off. Just not ethical.
