I am considering applying for a couple of higher Ed consulting positions with Huron. The job requirements include ability & willingness to travel up to 50 percent. Does anyone know how realistic this estimate is based on post-pandemic norms at Huron? My current company described similar travel expectations when I interviewed two years ago, but since then I have not had to travel for client-facing work once. I wouldn’t mind some travel but 50 percent would be too much.

Used to work there and watching my former colleagues it seems like they are traveling more than 50% in the last year

Very project dependent, but my most travelled project currently is one week every other month or so. Another project I have friends on is definitely 50%. I personally haven’t seen it over 50% unless it’s requested by the individual

Edit to add: I’m part of the legacy HE practice, now aligned to HE industry

My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.
