Oliver Wyman travel policy
Considering an offer to lateral into OW at an experienced / senior level. Had a question about their travel policies.

A quick question for NYC frequent flyers
I'm about to move to NYC for b-school and am planning on having to travel back to the midwest a bunch while I'm there, and also expect to be traveling for work after graduating.

Is M-Th travel the norm for MBB at associate (BCG) and analyst (McK) levels?
I realize M-Th travel is pretty much guaranteed in big cities outside of NYC for post-MBA (right?), but is it the same right out of undergrad? If so, are there often long periods in between projects where its common to work in the home office? thanks!
