Hours and travel required in consulting?

I appreciate your response, and I respectfully reassert that the 2 questions I am asking can be answered. Please note that my query is for “your data point” and not a generalization. If you have such a data point, I would appreciate you trying to put it into actual numbers and replying again. If the variability week to week or project to project is so significant as to make averages misleading, please provide a range and median.

I’m not sure what you mean by area, but I’ll assume you mean geographical location. I am interested in U.S. locations only. If you mean particular area of products or services, I’d be happy to hear about any and all.

Regarding type of consulting, whereas I am interested in any type of consulting that might touch on industrial design in some aspect or another, I’m particularly interested in firms that offer generalist product and service design and innovation. Basically, IDEO and any other company that competes or would like to compete against anything they do.
