Wow. That's a stern employer you've got there. With our firm (and the same is true for friends who work for the competition) the rule of thumb is that if you make it home on three out of four Thursday evenings (granted, by the last plane), you are doing okay. It varies with location and practice area, of course. SF and tech stuff, bingo. Whole projects of commuting back home from the South Bay every night! NY and steel? Not so good. But yeah, my firm takes pride in, and is known for, being nice. I suppose it is, relatively speaking.Coverthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03673799615959681166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8339214841215329097.post-64578731164951472362007-09-19T15:54:00.000-07:002007-09-19T15:54:00.000-07:00You clearly work for an easy master, if you can le...You clearly work for an easy master, if you can leave the client's site in XXX wherever it is in the world and fly back on Thursday evening. Whatever happened to dedication? Most of us can't leave for the flight back until late on Friday. Then it's first flight out on Monday for the next week! <BR/><BR/>Please could you let slip the name of the clearly extremely consultant-friendly employer you work for? All of us as international consultants would like to work for this doss consultancy, so we could see more of our families at the weekend!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
