Started in consulting during the pandemic (first job out of school). I always assumed I wouldn’t be able to have a dog bc of the travel schedule but with WFH I’m reconsidering. Would you expect the industry to go back to traveling the way it did before?

I really doubt it - I feel like we'll transition to a wfh 1-2 days a week and only on client site for important meetings

like

Yes, in the long term. Expect a 1-2 year transition period consisting of some combination of: only senior leaders travel with limited travel by managers and none by analysts, 1-2 days per week travel, on week/off week travel, and mostly local staffing.

I expect it won’t go back entirely to weekly M-Th travel, but likely still too much travel to be able to commit to a dog (depending on the firm, of course). Teams still benefit from getting together in person to brainstorm and build relationships, both internal and with clients, so I expect to still have way more travel than a normal industry job

I got a quarantine puppy and it’s been great- but my partner is not in consulting and could attend to the dog if I have to go back to traveling. Also I’m obsessed with my dog but have also realized it is a commitment that changes some of my plans like where I’d like to live/amount of space available/spontaneous trips etc, and I think fostering would help you live the reality of the sacrifice you and the pup have to make to live your best lives. I was aware of the sacrifices before getting the dog but had the mentality of “the dog will adapt,” rather than “that’s really going to suck for my dog and I won’t do it without really good reason/need”

like

For some clients I expect it to go back the way it was - state government for example. Industry may stay remote, especially contracts where client pays travel expenses.

Also everyone and their sister is adopting dogs right now. So many of them will be surrendered in the next 3-6 months. If you think you can handle adopting then that may be the time to adopt
