I’ve been on the road 3 out of the last 4 weeks, and it hit me last night when I had to ask my kid what time her school starts. This job used to feel like a stepping stone, but now I’m wondering what it’s stepping over. Has anyone pulled back from client travel without derailing their entire trajectory?

Been there. I missed my son’s first soccer goal because I was stuck in an airport lounge. I eventually negotiated a switch to internal projects—less glam, but way more present. It can be done, but you need the right leadership support.

Same! Switched to internal projects. Overall happier on all aspects of my life. This is the season for me to spend all my time with my 2 kiddos.

Yup, try and find a firm or industry focus that travels less if you can (eg financial services is mostly Toronto based, Big 4 don’t travel a ton on average). Really hard to be sustainable with a ton of travel and kids. Some can make it work but not for everyone.
