Can confirm about big four. Domestic travel is extremely common if you're on hospitality clients, and it's possible to get secondments to go to different countries, had a manager come back recently from 2 years in the UK.

Quant (ˈkwänt) n: An expert, someone who knows more and more about less and less until they know everything about nothing.
 

As a junior these days you will only travel if it is for a deal and the client is paying expenses.

In general the only way you are guaranteed some travel is if you are covering a specific geography and are based in a hub that is not that geography, ie London for most banks acts as a hub for a very large region. For the above though you need to have languages and/or local knowledge otherwise your travel will be purely by chance if a deal comes up and for some reason you need to go there.

Some markets stuff has more travel but again it's usually only after a few yrs work that you get to go.

 

Internal Audit within FMP type programs travel (depending on your company ie F500, it will be international)

Management Consulting - no shit, you should prepare to be a road warrior.

Big 4 Audit, Tax, Consulting, etc. - you'll get a good amount of traveling in.

Banking - Not so much, unless you are a really attractive girl/guy and your MD wants to fuck you. Or if you can speak German, Chinese, etc. and your team needs a translator.

I'm making it up as I go along.
