All week every week

same as d1

I travel 2 weeks a month so far on my new project. I expected to be traveling every week like my last, so I'm really missing my points!

In my final interview, the MD stressed 50 weeks per year of travel. This fiscal it has been ~42 weeks.

Errweek international

A2 is that average though?

@D2: Depends on the client and project. Had a short project and it was 100% travel and 50% travel on a four month project. Current project is most weeks, minus holidays and a few other exceptions.

M-F every week 😖

@A3: I'm sorry. ☹️

I recently had an initial interview for a technical recruiter position. The guy on the phone stated that this is not a 9-5 job and long hours are expected.

From that conversation, I saw instant red flags. Any thoughts?

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.

I followed up by asking what he thought the top consulting firms were. "I'd guess PwC and then McKinsey are the best. I've also heard of KPMG, Deloitte, and Bain, but I don't know much about them."

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.
