I'm curious about MBB travel policies. Are policies generally the same globally or significant change between countries?

“Travel policies” is too vague a term, can you specify? Are we talking about:
- Policy on travel frequency
- Possible destinations of travel
- First class vs economy when travel
Or something else

It varies by country

If there was one topic where MBB shouldn’t be grouped together, it’d be in geographic variations on travel policy… they don’t have the same staffing model

Bain nominally has a global policy, but several regions have standing exceptions

Why would they be the same globally?

That’s logical fallacy. It makes no sense to standardize an expense policy when different regions have different COL 🤦🏻‍♀️

So I’m in industry from big 4, and a colleague with same yoe comes from MBB. High paying tech firm. I think I work harder and produce quality content at speed, but they can hold executive conversations that tend to impress senior stakeholders.

Big 4 produces work horses and MBB produces leaders. Also they could be a work horse too since I don’t have full visibility.

Anyone have similar experiences or do I just suck at executive stakeholder management?
