Very project dependent. My experience is an outlier but I’ve spent most of my time in FDD traveling to clients 4 days a week. Typical buy-side project is one trip to the target for a night or two over the course of 3-4 week diligence.

NYC - 0% travel. Was associate in group for 7 months pre-covid, so level may vary.

5-10%. I am at office most of the project. Might visit target for Q&A once or twice. I don’t know what to expect after but if lead going back to in person meetings just because it is easier and we need to be as efficient as possible with timr

Been in diligence 10 years. Given the time sensitivity and the costs involved, I believe there will be less and less travel post COVID, unless the client wants us to do a site visit or its a local deal.

Typically traveling to target once to meet with management. I hope we continue to do meetings remotely - it’s not more efficient to be in person if there’s air travel required - not to mention the cost to a client to send a team on short notice. It also simplifies work-life balance - traveling with little to no notice makes it incredibly difficult to manage a family.

Q for Delta travelers:
We are going to buy a Delta gift card as a graduation gift (recipient is based out of SLC). I’ve flown Delta like once or twice in my life so I know nothing … is there any avenue to maximize the gift (for example, sales, discounts, promos such as lounge access with purchase)?

Thought I’d check to get the most bang for my buck before I purchase. TIA

-It's not commonly transmitted by touching objects and person to person transmittal is low risk except in close contact.

The media will then message that we should;
