Depends on your age and lifestyle. 80% for me is perfect. Leave Monday afternoon, home Thursday night. Enjoy seeing friends in my project city and having the option to flex. This said, I’m single and have nothing tying me to one place aside from the desire for a dog.

Depends on the person honestly. My 2 cents, if you have a solid friend group/relationship/etc in your home city right now, stay put unless you’re getting a pretty significant pay bump. If not, or you’re bored of your life Mon - Thurs right now, go for it.

Am I crazy? Currently interviewing at LEK, Oliver Wyman, and Deloitte strat for (essentially) entry level positions after working in biz dev at Microsoft for under a year.

My friends say I’m crazy, need a reality check…
