i wouldn't get into consulting if you want to "travel."
I do a lot of cost savings & business process analysis (requires a lot of travel) for a large company, which isn't like consulting (i don't travel every week for instance)... but even when you travel 40% of the time... it gets old.
also, working long hours or working weekends sucks ass... one thing i would say that IB has that consulting doesn't is that according to some wall street guys i know, you aren't displaced every week so it's a little better...
How so? The travel does seem nice (I haven't traveled much in my life), but it seems that the job really takes a huge toll on your social life. Investment banking seems the same. I'm just having a bit of trouble figuring out some career options for me. I know I'd like to go into some sort of business/finance job. One of my strengths is with computers, which may be helpful?
