Just started my new position as a consultant and was I wondering if I should take advantage of WFH role or travel 3/5 days. I was given the choice to choose one and I’m really leaning on the 3/5 travel due to meeting with clients and learning my new role. What do you guys think?

Don’t travel. It gets old after a year and will cost you your personal relationships and health (sleep, junk food, no exercise, time zones)

It depends on the client. I have seen clients who want itemized food receipts and alcohol may not be expensed. That is a rarity though. Most don't bother.

Do the travel to start. You can always switch to WFH after you get the hang of it. Much easier to develop skills and relationships in person
