- how much travel is involved? (regularity/destinations)
- when do people start travelling (i.e. how soon when people start do they start 'jetting off')?

I'm looking at PwC and McKinsey specifically, and when I was on my work experience at PwC they also said it would be feasible to move out to D.C. fairly quickly (something I would very much like to do). I know for the US, it's mainly domestic travel, but is there much international travel there too?

Thanks, James
Even in the UK there's travel but that involves trips to Kettering or Bolton. However, as others have said it depends on firm, area you work in and the clients. At work experience they are always going to tell you the best world not the real world.
