I do and enjoy the “getaway”
Plus the airline, hotel, rental car rewards usually cover a really nice vacation for me and the family once a year.

My job requires travel once a quarter to a partner location. I just enjoy the free delta sky miles

Zero desire to have a job that requires overnight travel.

Just got an offer with a 15k pay raise (nothing crazy) and I’d only have to be in the office 3x a week. The stipulation is I’d have to travel once a month for 1-2 days. I’ve never really traveled that frequently for work before and am not sure how I feel about that. Mainly considering leaving not for the money but because I do not like my current work environment. Any thoughts/experiences
I travel when the client needs me on site. Sometimes every week. Sometimes once a quarter.
It sucks if you have to do it every week. Get a nicer Airline card that gets you access to the lounges. Stay loyal to the airline and to your favorite hotel brands (I like Marriott). Then at the end of the year you have a vacation for almost nothing.

I drive to Houston to my corp office about once a month for an overnight stay. It's a fairly easy drive and I'm only away from my family for 24 hrs max usually. It's a good tradeoff for the pay and benefits my employer gives.
I used to travel 75% of the time. When my daughter was born I had to stop that, but that was over 10 years ago now.

Is it travel 1-2 days a month to the same corporate office in a boring Midwest city, or is it a rotating locale?
Posted on 5/31/23 at 8:40 am to philly444
That’s not bad and easily manageable. I’m typically 1-3 days a week and it sucks.
I haven’t traveled in like a month though and no one has said anything yet so I’m going to keep coasting.

If you stacking $350K/per it's only 4% and change, not so much

So you get a 15k raise and a 1-2 day sponsored trip once a month without your S/O?
What’s the catch?

2 days a month is almost nothing. You shouldn't even call this a job that requires travel tbh

I’m surprised they even mentioned that as travel. That’s really not much travel. If you’re unhappy where you are and the new gig seems better I wouldn’t let that sway you.
Of course, in 2017 I spent 240 nights in a hotel so my “travel needle” is different.
Posted on 5/31/23 at 8:49 am to philly444
As others have said, I don't event count that as real travel. With the raise and flexible work schedule, IF you like the job this is a no brainer. Sounds like the travel is an excuse for not taking the offer and you really don't like the job or the people. Either way, best wishes.

Marriot Points
Posted on 5/31/23 at 8:52 am to philly444
That's not travel. I spent a year in southern Arizona at the border, a year just south of Scranton, PA, six months in Virgina Beach and two years in NE TX...gets tiring, but the pay and benefits are great.
Wouldn't have done it while my kids were young, but they're grown, so what the heck?

Yeah I wouldn't even consider that much travel.
As someone who did 92 Marriott nights last year and 105 the year before. That is when you will start to hate airports and contential breakfast. "Sweet, I get to visit Modesto and Stockton for 3 days! Nice, I get to dodge bums in Portland, Oregon for 2 days."
1-2 days a month is a mini vacation.

Man, that’s not really traveling for work. I’ve got like 65 nights in hotels so far this year. 1-2 days a month is a no-brainer.

That's not a lot of travel. Real travel starts fun, but gets old very quick. You start to realize that every city is basically the same, and half the time you don't really have time to go out and explore anyways.

If you have schedule flexibility, I always scheduled my trips around weekends and either flew in early or flew back later if I was going somewhere I wanted to check out. Really depends on where the travel destination is though.
