I loved it. Nyc to LA weekly for 12 months. Best time of my life.
I would fly out of NYC Monday morning and go to the Sunday pool party at my hotel. Roll out of bed at 10 to meet the team at the office as they all flew Monday morning. Flew back Thursday, would meet my BF and BFF at the airport split a limo or town car into the city (cheaper than 3 Uber’s) go to dinner. Crash like a rock. Gym and go out Friday and Saturday then do it all again.
God I miss travel.
Not saying there’s anything wrong with it, more power to you. As someone who’s been on the road pretty extensively (350k miles per year, more or less) for quite a while, what you described, to me, even me in college, would have sounded awful.
I did every weekend or every other weekend, with a monthly weeklong stay on the west coast while working during the week on the east coast for half a decade. It is exhausting, but it can be done and done fairly well. It really depends on which side is which. I work a full week, I take the 7pm ET flight out Friday night after work, land at 10pm PT, wake up Saturday with the kids, do family stuff all weekend, head back to the airport after putting kids to bed Sunday night, get on the 10pm PT redeye, land at 5:30am ET, Uber to apartment, sleep for 2-3 hours. Start work around 9am. Mondays are a little rough. Your body gets used to it though. You find your rhythm.
I did something similar but shifted to a Thursday night home and Sunday afternoon back to NYC. No spouse or kids so it worked for me. I do miss it some days and loved having the NYC/LA balance.
Did NY to SEA, NY to SF, NY to LAX, or NY to LHR weekly for 2 years. Sometimes had multiple trips per week. I loved it, most productive time of my career. Drink plenty of water, have an exercise routine and stick to it. Wake up at the same time and go to bed at the same time (6a wake up no matter which time zone you’re in, local time). Red eyes, always shower in the lounge, few drinks, and I’d be asleep before takeoff. I miss those days.
