What if Consultants Didn't Travel So Much? Seriously

Ahh, yes—the life of a consultant—fast-paced, cutting-edge work that is both personally and financially rewarding. However, with those benefits comes a laundry list of givens (that some might call drawbacks), which are considered part of the job for professionals in the industry. Long hours, stressful, high-pressure engagements, and of course—the endless travel.

Ahh, yes—the life of a consultant—fast-paced, cutting-edge work that is both personally and financially rewarding. However, with those benefits comes a laundry list of givens (that some might call drawbacks), which are considered part of the job for professionals in the industry. Long hours, stressful, high-pressure engagements, and of course—the endless travel. Taking a snapshot of many of our colleagues in this industry one could outline a typical work week in four easy steps:

Step 1) Fly across the country.
Step 2) Check into hotel.
Step 3) Work long, intense hours.
Step 4) Fly home for weekend, repeat 51 weeks per year.
