But in the consulting world, thats the sacrifice you make.

If you are single, it is fantastic. Although, it can make meeting and sustaining new friendships/relationships more difficult.

Travel makes life more affordable...but it can be a PITA after a long haul.

I just finished an 11 week back-and-forth engagement. Couple weeks at home and about to start another eight week project. The variety, exposure and perks of the job are second to none though.

Completely agree...I don't know how people with families can do this. Except that they 1)hate their home lives 2)really like the money.

I just had a week off as well and I'm back on a 2 week engagement in DC then probably heading out the west coast.

I'm with a small "implementation" management consulting firm based in New Hampshire. Been doing this for about 15 months now, lack of a decent social life sucks...but the advantages are pretty great as you stated.
