What do you all do?
I'm new here, so I don't quite know, but what exactly do you all with SE status, or those who constantly fly J overseas a lot, do for a living that requires that kind of extensive travel? My best guess would be some sort of consulting, but I really don't know. I find it hard enough achieving E status each year, and I have RARELY had to fly transcon. Almost always withing NA.
So, what do you do that enables SE status?

I'm an IT consultant but I tend to travel heavily in my free time whenever I can. On top of that, I am well-to-do so can afford this travel out of pocket.

For me, too, it's not the money but the time.
