Do SAP / Oracle consultants fall in this category?

Rob Manderson keeps country-hopping as part of his job - I'd love that sort of job. Regards, Nish

Look at a semiconductor equipment manufacturer. It is what I did for a long time. The travel was great, the money (per diem) was great, and the work was fun for about 8 months. It's a great way to go if traveling is what you want to do. But, expect 18 hour work days, travel on your weekends on a pin-headed managers whim, and total destruction of any relationship you have. Good Luck Chris Hey don't worry, I can handle it. I took something. I can see things no one else can see. Why are you dressed like that? - Jack Burton

Sounds like fun to me. Being a travelling consultant already eliminates any possibility of a decent LT relationship. A man said to the universe: "Sir I exist!" "However," replied the Universe, "The fact has not created in me A sense of obligation." -- Stephen Crane

Amen to that!!! I have just such a job and whilst the travel has cut down dramatically this year last year I spent something like 9 months on the road with the longest stay at home of about 5 days. I'd also say that when you've done 9 trips to The Philippines it does take the shine off that particular destination.

I think you have a fun job, Rob :-) I hopefully look forward to that sort of a job sometime in the future. Regards, Nish

Hrmm, I better write down all these names. Then when my contract is up I will know who to call to get the hook-ups. I am willing to trade a red paperclip. A man said to the universe: "Sir I exist!"

To be honest, I probably don't. Everybody I worked with left the industry like I did about 4 years ago. I'll ring a few bells if you are serious. Also, check with Rob. He may have more "fresh" leads than I do. Cheers Hey don't worry, I can handle it. I took something. I can see things no one else can see. Why are you dressed like that? - Jack Burton

When I can actually be serious. Right now I am under contract. (Yeah, Ill hit Rob up then too) A man said to the universe: "Sir I exist!" "However," replied the Universe, "The fact has not created in me A sense of obligation." -- Stephen Crane

Sure, all relates to the structure of the company that you work with.
