    • @bykchoi
      @bykchoi  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Before the pandemic, many consulting firms had their people travel on a weekly basis (Monday to Thursday/Friday) to the client site of the project they would be working on. However, some consultants would be regional/local based and not really travel. I didn’t travel every single week but would travel for specific milestones in the project (with anywhere from 3-8 projects at a time, so sometimes i would travel multiple times a week but for different clients). It all depends! With the pandemic, there is not much travel at all, minus some exceptions as people start to get vaccinated etc. But it’ll depend on the client and if they want to pay for / invest in travel in the future

Not money-wise, but opportunities for work. Did you struggle? Were you able to still get deals? Everyone talks about how New York died during the pandemic, and since it's a major city with content creators I was curious about how your lifestyle changed as a content creator.
