Not a specific policy, just need to discuss with your engagement manager/director. It's very common.

Thanks all!

Yeah very flexible on flex travel corporate apartment etc. Talk to your leadership

Yes I have been able to do both before. Depends on the engagement manager ultimately though. If it's cheaper or comparable, then there usually isn't a problem. Or they may be willing to deduct the price of your ticket home against your alternative travel arrangements.

Living in Van. Previously lived in Toronto. Obviously rent prices are high as is cost of living. Generally go out and spend more often living in a city. Boyfriend and I on good salary but not saving much due to the above. Before we move home to our own country, we’d love to spend a year close to Vancouver where rent is cheaper, temptation is less, to save. A commute to Vancouver 1-2 times a month needs to be possible (his job). That can be a flight if it’s not crazy. Thoughts? Recommendations?
