Hi everyone, plenty of good info in here.
Since a tiny fraction of consultants work in their home office city, do these consultants receive any of the perks that travelling consultants do?
Sorry for the silly question, but I can't seem to find info on this forum nor Reddit.
Hi,
Based on my experience the perks of locally staffed are:
The extra things that Fly-ins get are hotel and airline points :)
Note: Fly-ins are consultants assigned outside their home country
Every firm and office have slightly different policies but generally the only financial perk is the meal allowance if you eat dinner at the office. However, once you have been travelling back to back for projects, sleeping in your own bed, working in the comfort of your home office where you can catch up with people and being able to make evening plans are major perks!

Agree with all the coaches- family & personal life perks outweigh the "financial" perks of out of town projects. One other advantage is opportunity to network quickly in the local office specially with senior people. So make the most of this before you get put on that plane every week- although unlikely its going to return to pre COVID days, travel most certainly will reduce.
Speaking of experience here: Yes, we do - except the airline/hotel points. And we get an important perk that other don't get: We get to see our families during the week and can have dinner at home, which is a great driver of sustainability (for me at least).
