What can I do to maximize my points, given that I am not booking? (Obviously, I would like to book and be reimbursed, but that's not going to happen)

Sorry if I missed a thread on this when I searched

p.s. if anyone is in the consulting industry in Atlanta, I would definitely like to grab lunch sometime. I am a (young) attorney trying to move into consulting permanently.
Recommendation:
Focus on the project and have great success there.
Don't bother anyone at this early stage with your travel requirements- later when you make partner you will have plent of time for that
