Just got a job at Deloitte M&A in Atlanta and am currently looking to buy a house. Would you advise I buy closer to Atlanta or the suburbs? I personally want to be in the suburbs but I hear the traffic situation is quite bad. Current consultants in Atlanta, how much time do you actually spend in the office vs remote vs client site? Would you advise I try and stay closer to the office?

I’m not sure about office time since I joined after covid, but been here 20 years and there’s traffic almost everywhere. It really depends what you’re looking for - whether it’s the city lifestyle or a suburban one. If you have young kids I’d recommend the suburbs as it’s safer and Atlanta crime has been going up (inside the perimeter atleast)

You will generally never have to go to the office. You will likely need to go to the airport next year (but, depending on level, probably no more than once or twice a month). When I lived there, I used the MARTA to get to both. Pretty short journey from Doraville to either.

If you want to be in the suburbs I’d say go for it! You can get much nicer and bigger houses for better prices, definitely worth the commute for when (if) you need to travel. Traffic to the airport will be bad once u hit the city anyways, but some suburbs have marta lines you can drive to and take the train from there. As for going into the office, I doubt that’d be an issue as no one really goes often. But even then, you can marta to the office as well!

Advisory m&a? Or consulting m&a? I would say advisory m&a is a little less travel and probably more in the office vs consulting is more likely client site

Thanks for your response. Much appreciated!

They are resistant because they just want the work to be done and don’t “want to keep spending money on internal jobs”. I’m confused because we’re doing the work either way and “spending” in labor/resources.
