Hi guys,

To be honest I used to envy my friends who works in consulting firms because they have lots of opportunities to travel during work. I mean I was really excited about the opportunity to visit new countries. I told my friends that this is the kind of job that I like and my friend replied "becareful about what you wish for".
After graduating I finally landed my first job in a consulting firm.....yes I got lots of travel. To be honest the accomodation is good at least 4-5 star hotels and if not service apartments. The food is not to be as well as it is all paid by the company and when I travel I get allowances which allows me to safe. Usually the allowance minus the expenses will equate to 50% of my pay so no complaints. That means every month I get an extra 50% from my usual pay......cheers

On the other hand after 8 months in the job I have started to miss my girlfriend and family. I fly back to KL every two weeks on a Friday and I will have to fly off on a Sunday. So life is really hectic and the 8months has been like 1 week. Eventhough you get to stay in really nice hotels and good food but you will always end up working at night in the hotel. I mean back in KL if you finish work you go home and relax but when u work overseas you take your work back home. So I am thinking about moving to a field that requires less travelling after 1 year of experience. So my advise to people who are looking for this kind of job - "becareful about what you wish for".
