This is not anything to be envious about. Travel gets old and I rarely see any of the cities I visit
Spent the last six months on a project in Asia. Most trips were 3 weeks. The points and weekend trips are great but after awhile you just want to use a fork again.
This is the most trivial of complaints lmao
This is me over the last week on my international assignment in Costa Rica. Not sure what you all are talking about
We do get to go out and see stuff. But I still wouldn't trade it for time at home
Think about what you're giving up. Plans locally with friends, seeing your friends and loved ones each night, working longer and harder because "you've got no one to go home to at night". You're just trading time for money anyways, why not just buy the perks that status gets you.
It seems cool but all of my international trips I’ve never had time to explore the cities and am working with exhaustion from jetlag. Effects reviews too. Would rather have more vacation time
Jet lag is real
kind of surprised that people are pointing out how i would miss out on plans with friends, etc when traveling internationally. that’s been my life since i started working, just doing domestic travel instead and getting peanuts for these 2 hour flights on crj-900s. if i’m gonna be away all the time, i might as well get rewarded for it.
DAMN just a weekend back? might as well move there!
I know plenty of analysts who have travelled internationally
Don't need to travel internationally to get big status and points. I'm currently staffed in a city couple of hours away and will retain OneWorld Emerald and Hyatt Globalist 5 months into the calendar year.
Stick to one airline/alliance and one hotel chain; sign up for any promotions / bonus offers they roll out.
Profit.
