I’m sure this asked daily, but when do people think client travel will resume? My zoom fatigue has been off the charts lately and not sure how much longer I can do it

My project partners have been talking about how after the pandemic is officially ‘over’ we still probably won’t go back to traveling 4 days / week, since clients have now realized that we can be fairly effective remote...they think we may only travel a few times during the course of a project for key meetings. Which honestly sounds terrible and I’d probably leave consulting if that becomes the case

On a full time travel project now and have been on several throughout the last year.

It’s going to come down to what sector you’re working in in my view. Manufacturing? Yeah we are almost all back on site now, most of my on site work is in this space. financial? Probably not.

I really like my family so hope never

I just want to say to the Indian managers / SMs etc. stop taking everything so seriously and stressing people out on your teams. I have had managers who put initiative work so high in importance that it stresses me out about client work. Chill out and stop emailing on weekends. Hang out with your families! Doesn’t mean don’t work hard but chill the heck out people. Clearly this is just a job that doesn’t pay you well enough in the first place why are you stressing other people out too?!

Do you pay your credit cards in full every month?

I ask because I’ve let my credit spending get a bit lax since moving and adopting a puppy recently, so I haven’t been paying them off in full every month like I used to (though still well above the minimum payment, and keeping utilization at 30% or under). It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.

I was recently offered a Zoom interview. The school had 10 interview slots for me to choose from. Three were one day this week and the rest are next week. I chose the first time slot available. Should I have waited until one of the last slots so I was fresher on their mind when choosing a candidate? I am just sitting here stressing out until I here something. Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?

I joined a new consulting firm and have been here for 6 months. Recently, a SaaS client (1k employees) that hired my old consulting firm reached out to me about a job opening - Lead BA working primarily to implement their benefit admin system for insurance companies. My current TC is 95k. Is it worth making the jump if the offer is north of 110k? Anything I should look out for? The client and coworkers were all nice, but I remember being stressed on the project due to limited resources.

Is this normal? Should I stick it out for a few days or is this a big sign that I’m not on the right meds/dose? Nervous to keep trialling this during the workday since a midday crash is not ideal. Appreciate any advice!

Quick question.

Should I:

- Work with the recruiter + apply for jobs on my own?
