Depends- do you need to showcase some tech, or is it just a deck? If it's just a deck, WebEx suffices. Otherwise if it's even a little bit more complex, being in person has more impact.

I've driven 4 hours each way for a 1 hour meeting and I absolutely think it was worth it. Depends on the client, and the novelty of what you're saying.

If you haven't met them before, it's best to meet in person. If you have, online is less of a challenge.

In the end, either works, but think about the client and what they might want. They may not care about the money but want to know if you'll heel when they command...

WebEx to save client money. Shows that you care about engagement economics. Unless this meeting is about a go/no-go decision... don't see value in flying out at that cost...

In a new job for 3 months but they really don’t give me much to do all day. I’m a Sr Strategy Analyst at a Fortune 20 and they forget about me a lot, haven’t provided a lot of guidance, or work, forget to add me to meetgs. However, they’re always complaining about how much work there is but say they don’t need help. I get that I’m new, but like I didn’t have anything to do for 3 days. I also don’t have enough knowledge to just take up some of the outstanding projects. What can I do?
