And to want to spend part of our very limited time asking what kind of hotel you need to stay in and what FF program you can use? Next.....
I think it really depends on the job. I recently interviewed for an American company that is a vendor to the Formula 1 series and in the job posting said "This is 35 week of travel" and "Must want to travel."
We talked about travel at length in the interview and their lack of knowledge on a range of topics from what back-to-back races may require intercontinental forced red-eyes to are they using a 3rd party company to organize Azerbaijan, Chinese, Russian and other complex work visas was so stunning that I pulled my application. Weeks later I found out that "Because of unforeseen complexities related to F1 series travel they were outsourcing the work to a European company." It wasn't unforeseen by me
