In my experience, it&#x27;s somewhere in-between. Yes, for the consultant, spending their weeks in $BORINGCITY (I&#x27;ll avoid insulting anyone&#x27;s hometown), it&#x27;s pretty awful. And travel can be tough wherever you&#x27;re going when there are snowstorms and other travel problems. But I usually also get time to experience places that I visit to at least some degree. YMMV of course, but I can&#x27;t complain too much.
