I’m planning on doing a ~3 month trip to travel the world before I have kids (probably in 1-2 years). Has anyone done this before? Any advice or things to consider when doing it?

Ideally I’d come pack to PwC after for job security but think that’s too long of a time, so may have to quit then find a job after those 3 months. SO is a teacher so we would just go during summer and she’d have a job still.

You could do a non-paying LOA and come back to PwC. But yes, you should take a few months and travel. Hard to give advice about what to do since I don’t know what you like to do. Biggest issues from a home standpoint is managing your mail, although for 3 months that’s not a big issue. Since your SO is a teacher I’m assuming you’ll be able to stay on their health insurance which is good (also if you do the LOA from PwC you could keep your health insurance). SE asia is your cheapest option, lots of good food. South America is fun, particularly Colombia and southern Chile (although Jun-Jul would suck there). Africa is cool for overlanding (rent and live in a truck for a few months and drive Southern Africa). Europe is lame.

Thanks! Didn’t know PwC did that, I’ll look into that. And good things to consider. Yeah we were planning on hitting all the continents except for Antarctica

Boutique I have been eyeing has billable hour requirement of 1500-1600 and comes with a 20-25% paycut. Is this a stupid idea and should I grind it out until I can move in house? Will this ruin my opportunities down the road?
