How many of you are still client facing/traveling vs in an internal role? Experiences? I switched a few years ago for better work/life balance. Curious since I’ve seen a few similar comments on here

For me it was a great decision and I truly love my job, but still get twinges of competitiveness now and then knowing I’ve actively decided to “slow down” from the fast path

3 kids and still client facing. I go back and forth between considering internal and staying in it. Part of me thinks ohhh just a few more years to director and then the other part of me says...yes and then you’re a director doing this for the rest of your life. Is that what I want? Not sure but just putting one foot in front of the other at this point.

I moved to an internal work from home role as well and have really loved it - knowing it’s likely the end of career advancement, I’m very happy to collect my paycheck and spend time with my son...

I'm still client facing but working 80%. The part-time is the main thing sustaining me.

Doing 3-4-5 and hate it. But on a work visa and impossible to find local jobs

Client facing and travel with 1 kid. Planning to have another kid at some point. Feel like eventually I will have to give up travel. And there aren't many clients where I'm located, so if I give up travel, there's no point staying in consulting.

Internal, work from home & have loved the work- life balance. Recently though we changed the internal talent model so there’s no promotion- you have to find an open job at the next level- so I’m completely demotivated.

D1 thats almost always been the case- i wouldnt expect promotions in internal roles since they dont matter to the client

M1 not true at all! I’ve been internal for 7 years, and have moved from C to M. We have a new talent model this year.

Working with our Global delivery Centers - no pay cut...

What internal roles are there? How do we learn more about these opportunities? Also, who do we need to talk to move into internal roles?

Tired of all the respectability politics. Just once I want to write what I really mean in an email or tell a client what I really think of them when they ask. F*cking tired of walking on eggshells and constantly wondering if I did or said the right thing in the right way or the right tone to make sure the people around me are comfortable. Who's doing that for me at work? Nobody.

Hey Fishes!!! Any idea, how many days would it take for TechM to process the offer letter from the date of Letter of Intent? I have received the LOI last week and i have submitted all documentations the same day. The HR messaged me saying that my offer is in process. Just curious to know the offer process period(days) and why would it take more than 3 days when the LOI has all band, role and salary breakup which means i presume that there are no approval delays. Can some HR enlighten us
