WORK LIFE BALANCE as a TECHNOLOGY CONSULTANT

Consulting is notorious for really bad work life balance, but I give you an honest and real account on how work life balance is for technology consultants. It's actually not as bad compared to management consultants, and I would even say I have great work life balance and that I enjoy the technology consultant lifestyle! I go over how it is when travelling onsite to client locations but also on when working remotely from home.

Please note that this is a culmination of accounts on technology consultants I personally know but also for myself, so this may not be accurate for all technology consultants. Your experience may be different, but please let me know in the comments how different your experience has been!
