Want to get into Consulting but get anxiety on flights - am I limited to just a few firms (I.e. LEK) or is it still possible to do MBB and not fly weekly?

I personally found consulting to be great exposure therapy for flying. I used to get so anxious and now I don’t have any problems. It was so bad I definitely considered whether or not it was a good idea to work in consulting, but I honestly would recommend it as a way to get over your fears.

Hard to be a consultant and not travel, unless you do some large scale tech implementation (multi year) and your home city has lots of large companies

In consulting you have talent models where you are not expected to travel much for example Deloitte has USDC model where you are expected to travel at max 15 % as compared to traditional consulting 80 %. Even the traditional travel percentage is being reduced now post covid keeping inline with the New Normal.

How do your firms handle these situations?
