Depends entirely on the project and team. None of my teams have traveled to sit in a client office since March of 2020. Some of them literally haven’t seen a colleague in 2 years.

Some of my friends who do ops work never stopped traveling, and their teams have been on the road like COVID never happened since they got vaccinated.

Joined 2 years ago and haven't met anyone else yet in person. Sometimes I wonder whether the firm actually exists or if its all just an elaborate social experiment that I'm getting paid to participate and invest time in 🤔.

Trainings are always at lakehouse, going to florida soon :)

Did you recently go through the hiring process? I’ve just started and was hoping you could provide some insights into it

I traveled two weeks since COVID. So way less travel and will likely only be 20%.

It can still be UP TO 80% - we have no idea when or if our clients will decide they want us onsite - as soon as they do we will be.

I have not traveled for work since 2019

I travel 25%, but have colleagues on my project traveling 100%

It will be a lot more the higher up you go, because managers and senior managers still need facetime to make their sales and keep the gravy train going.

Just left from KPMG for Slalom because of that. If I have to do facetime one day a week, might as well be local.

Yep, just got here from D a few months back. I’ll hate travel, but this is a good deal. I go to my client site that’s ten minutes away once a week, and that’s by choice. Mostly just go to hang out with Slalom folks lol.

Get a shitty phone with a shitty plan and use that as your work phone. Use the reimbursement for your personal phone. I. Your case, seem like the cost outweighs using your personal phone for work.

Very little travel in general. I personally haven’t traveled since Covid started. It’s not like one day our clients are going to collectively demand travel. It’s by industry for sure. Tech companies can care less while other may want you on site.

Hi, I'm an employee at a hotel chain who works remotely. I've been working remotely for over a year now and I love it! The company I work for is very supportive of remote workers, which is great.

But there's one thing that's been bothering me: it's hard to get feedback on my work when I'm not in the office. It would be great if there was some kind of system that let me know how my performance was being evaluated while I'm working on projects from home.
