Also, how often do consultants work (either at home or in the office) on weekends?
One of my buddies works at a mid-tiered consulting firm (think Accenture, AT Kearny), he's been working from home for the past 8 months. Checks in the office every once in a while.
At my firm (MBB) you are encouraged to stay home while you're on the beach.
Depends on industry/firm/strategy/level. I work for a mid tier firm and I am required to travel 90% for 3 months of the year and the remainder of the year I am required to travel about 50%.
The other 50% for the remaining 8 months I spend about 15% home, 20% office, 15% meetings/networking.
