I love the perks of travel. But I hate what I have to give up for them. I've gone from a consultant that would travel out Sunday night for the extra night of free meals and points to a consultant who cries every Monday morning. It took me 3 years to do this 180 but it happened.

D1-go FU. Was OP trying to suggest wtf are people bitching about ? or perhaps simply pointing out what a single person could enjoy about this industry

OP, sounds like you have chosen the right profession. Congrats!

Same right now, but I'm 23. I'm sure it'll change once a family comes around

Don’t have any friends to talk to this about but just spent a whole year doing a live-in renovation of my house and only living out of a single suitcase.

Additionally, all my government projects for giving me confidence in buying an as-is house and figuring it out as I go. Thank you WFH
