Miles. EQD's. Do it.
Push for corporate furnished apartment. "move" all your clothes to client location. Sublet / get rid of your rent in home city. Then work out a deal where you spend 1-2 weekends a month in client location. If a rental car is in the picture work with company on long term rental. It's usually significantly cheaper than weekly rentals. For the other 2-3 weekends per month fly home and stay with friends or at hotel or flex trip. Put together a spreadsheet to prove savings -a corporate apartment is almost always cheaper. Yes you lose hotel points but you don't pay rent and gain so many flight points + flex travel weekends. Good luck. It's the time of a lifetime of you can make it happen
Negotiate a deal if you can. Every other weekend local - if you like the client location? Maybe Alt Fridays off? Make it work for you.
Your alt travel budget would be amazing!
Do it. But, be cautious of what precedents you set with your travel schedule (e.g., there and back every week) if you do it for project, the firm will expect you do it again in the future
I loved it. Would gladly do it again. Rack up miles. Flex trips to pretty much anywhere.
no. never cool.
Yup I did a SFO project where I went there 1 week per month. That is ideal. You can also work out of D ha, which gives some time to connect with internal contacts and initiatives. If you are at HQ city, that is.
Yup
Coast to coast travel is brutal on old guys like me when it's multiple weeks
