What’s it like working for consulting 80% travel? Was contacted by EY not sure if it’s worth interviewing for?

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.

It’s a biotch. They pay and the points don’t make up for the missed birthdays and eating dinner at home on Tuesday’s.

Move out

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.

I'm a woman working in a male-dominated organization. I'm also the newest member of the team. My coworkers have been given approval to travel to see customers, even internationally, but my boss won't let me. I've been held back in more ways than just travel & have even had accounts taken away from me & given to my male coworkers.

I discussed this unequal treatment with my boss 10 days ago, then abruptly yesterday I took a call from HR telling me that I was being let go.

Any leads for hiring?

I am so beyond ready to leave my current job, but can’t yet, since bonuses are paid out in January. 😬

In the meantime, I’ve applied to a lot of similar roles (slightly higher) but have not heard - good or bad - from any. Is it common for companies to slow down hiring in December because of Q4 rush, people on holiday, etc.?
