Op - I've had a *few* great SOs leave because they couldn't take the burden of traveling. If you talk to your RM and PML about getting a local gig for a while, that should help the both of you see if it's just the travel or if it's bigger than that. At the end of the day, if you choose her over your job, you'll resent her for it and things will go to shit faster than you can say I Do. Try to get a local project , see what happens.
Alt travel her to you.
U know the answer - choose the job or the relationship. Many people leave consulting for this exact reason and those who make partners have SO's that support them all the way or they are divorced
You in it for partner? If not, set a timeline on when you'll exit. Also show some effort by looking for jobs, even if slowly
The travel lifestyle does not work for everyone, it's really hard on spouses and families. Some can make it work and some can't. You may have to choose
F this girl is marriage material you choose her over career. Chasing fulfillment at work over your personal relationships is not generally advised
I don't want partner but don't want to leave just yet. I don't want to look for jobs when I don't plan on leaving until another 3-4 years. I have told her the timeline and plan I had before taking the job but I guess it's just hard for her to be alone all the time
Really dude? Did you not know before you chose the profession?
Definitely knew what the job was before choosing it :|. Just wondering if anyone is going through this or has gone through it.
Get a new gf
Ask for flexibility on the traveling... more remote weeks. Most Ms and SMs are extremely understanding when they know the circumstances
Yeah try to stay home at least one week a month. Talk to your manager. I think it is normal for this to cause an issue. You can do a lot to better the situation without quitting.
Is she worth it? I've had relationships end over my career, but then found the one who wasn't intimated by it or too needy to accept it. Life is now wonderful. You can have it all!!
I think working remote or other flex options provided here are a quick fix to an underlying problem that won't be solved in the longer run. Either you're not serious about consulting anyway and quit or convince your SO to support you.

Yeah it's a tough choice. On one hand I'll get to continue my relationship and time investment in a good girl. On the other I don't think I'll have a fulfilling career if I exit this early in the game (or at least it'll take longer to get a VP/Director position in industry)
^good call. Only thing is before taking the job I mentioned it would be a 4-5 year ordeal and that it will be weekly travel. She understood at the time but does not like it now. I feel I need to have a give and take in the relationship specially with my job at this point given we are not married and do not have children yet. This will only benefit both of us in the long run
Frankly big 4 is not worth it unless it's your first job and you do it for two three years or if you want to make partner.
