Consulting progression

Hello all,

I’m curious how you have felt your progression has gone while in your career. I understand consulting does a lot of traveling which I truly don’t mind. However, I am a bit older and plan on starting a family around 3-5 years after starting and was curious how travel and comp changes in that time frame?
