Realistically, can I hook up whilst traveling?

I'm at an MBB and 5 months in, still on my first project. This thing is draining my brain. I have no energy left at all. My weekend is ruined for a 12 hours flight to be at the client's feet on time. It's a lot of pressure honestly. I now have lots of free time during late Wednesdays, which I could extend by skipping team dinner bs. I could really use some tinder 🤧 especially that I've been paying for gold for months without use. I've had girls invite me but going out and coming back to the hotel very late won't work.

I could make another booking for a night at the hotel for the night, but is that even allowed? 

 

I like a girl in nyc, I move there, email her to network coffee I want her "advice" Shake her hand bye. Drinks on Friday! then Sunday brewery. I like finance more so no clue what consultants should do in a tinder situations - sorry 

 

It sounds like you're in a pretty miserable situation right now. Working long hours, flying to client sites, and not having much free time can really take a toll on your mental and physical well-being. It's important to take care of yourself, and if that means skipping team dinners to have some alone time, then you should do what you need to do.

You absolutely can. Would I suggest it? No. Separate church (work) and state (social)

I used to swipe using premium so I could change locations to cities I knew I'd be in the next week and set stuff up that way, but my meetings and your meetings sound a little less intense. Usually, my meetings last an hour or two with lunch or dinner and then I'd fly back same day or the morning after.

If it's a large city with a good scene and if I was able to, I combined my trips with stays at hostels and met people that way. A lot of the people who work at hostels are staying there, so make friends with the staff, works especially great if the hostel has a bar. Once you are friends with a staff member you've always got someone to go out with and hostel people in general are a great time.
