What are travel expectations at your project/firm like now that we’ve basically gotten back to normal with covid? Left consulting mid 2021 due to partners demanding travel to client sites while 75% of the clients were wfh. Considering going back to consulting but seems pointless if it means leaving my family 4 days a week to take zoom calls from a clients conference room.

I'm currently traveling one week a month (25% of the time). I don't think we are going back to more than that anymore.

We are not back to normal at all, that’s probably never going to be the case unless all of your clients are 50+ in age. I am asked to travel one week every two months (it’s not even required), and most of my coworkers on other projects are in the same position. Some projects will ask for more, others none at all or very little.

I joined a new consulting firm and have been here for 6 months.

My current TC is 95k. Is it worth making the jump if the offer is north of 110k? Anything I should look out for? The client and coworkers were all nice, but I remember being stressed on the project due to limited resources.

Any resume writer referrals? I’m trying to make the jump into project management.
