How much do you travel and how much time do you spend in the office?

That really depends on the project, the client, and the office you are based in.

For example, I’m based in Bonn, and many of our clients are located in the DHL Post Tower, which is only about a five minute walk from our office. In those cases, there is no travel involved. We also collaborate with DHL teams all over the world, and those meetings are often held virtually via Teams.

At the same time, some projects do involve travel, including international assignments. It really depends on where the client is located and what the project requires. Some engagements might require a short trip for key workshops or presentations, while others may involve being on site more regularly, for example two to three days per week.

The office location also plays a role. Offices like Singapore or Miami tend to have more projects that involve international travel, whereas in Bonn many projects are either local or global but managed virtually.

And regarding sightseeing, while work comes first, teams usually try to manage their time well so there is an opportunity to explore a bit of the city in the evenings or over the weekend. That can definitely be a nice bonus of traveling for projects!

Hi!

Thanks a lot for your questions 😊

The honest answer is: it really depends on the project and the client. At Inverto, you can share your preferences before staffing, for example, whether you’re interested in more international projects with higher travel intensity or rather local cases with less travel. The staffing team genuinely takes these preferences into account as much as possible.

Travel frequency varies quite a bit. Some projects require being on-site at the client during the week, others are more hybrid or even largely remote. It also depends on the client’s working style and expectations.

Personally, I really enjoy international projects. Of course, the primary focus is always the project work, but if you manage your time well, there are definitely moments to explore a bit, grab dinner with the team, or see parts of the city. It’s not a vacation, but you do get small glimpses of the place.

In general, consulting is dynamic, some phases are more travel-heavy, others more office- or home-based. I’d say flexibility is key, but there is also room to shape your path over time.

Hope that helps! 😊

Hi, thanks a lot for your question!

In our case, it’s really a mix of everything — sometimes we’re at the client site, sometimes working remotely, and sometimes at our own office.

There are projects where we’re at the client site from Monday to Thursday. However, that’s not required or desired for every project. Usually, we align with the client on how often it actually makes sense to be on site.

For projects where the client is close to Essen (which is also where our office is), we might go there for a few days per week. If we’re not spending much time at the client, we usually meet as a team in our office in Essen instead. That also depends a lot on the project — it can range anywhere from 1–2 days per week in Essen up to 5 days. The rest of the time everyone is free to work remotely.

Regarding your question about exploring places when you’re staffed abroad or in another city: of course work is the priority, but in the evenings we often go out for dinner together as a team, and whenever possible we try to plan some activities together as well. So while it’s definitely still a work trip, you usually get at least a bit of a chance to experience the place too.
