Would you rather travel or continue to WFH? I used to think I’ll miss all the airline miles and hotel points but now I’m like how the hell did we do this mon-thurs travel. It was brutal..

WFH, with the option to fly in once a month would be ideal.

WFH. I cannot imagine traveling again 😩

I don’t want to wake up at 4am on a Monday to fly ever again (unless I’m flying to vacation). I’d be ok with part-time travel when it’s really needed, but the weekly Mon-Thurs slog is so unnecessary.

Travel. I love that aspect of consulting. Without it, might as well work in industry and gain better benefits. I’d be ok compromising to traveling 2 wks/mo.

Wfh and travel when I want to for fun. I went to industry because the 3/4am wake up call on Monday mornings/leaving Sunday nights were just not worth it in the long run. Granted, now I find it harder to maintain my status as I only airbnb it but it’s whatever 🤷‍♀️

So ideally you would have revenue of $510k. If the staff takes less time partners make less money and if they take more time partners make more money while the staff keeps the same salary?

Still I am having doubts because I think he isn’t very “intellectual”. To be clear, he’s intelligent! He is a great STEM role that requires an advanced degree. We share a love of reading as well. However he is not really interested in world affairs, does not follow the news closely, does not have a strong grasp
