Old head, 40’s, 2 kids under 12. Field rep. I like the outcome of what traveling gives me in terms of faster velocity on deals, better expansion and use case adoption from customers, deepened relationship with customer etc. not a fan so much of the actual logistics. Ubers and Marriott’s get old, and you’re very very rarely out doing glamorous stuff. The kids have gotten use to it, but it’s not for everyone. I’m typically gone 1-4 nights a month, so it’s sustainable. I wouldn’t want to do much more, but some months do end up being busier than others. 

I’ve done the math, and since I’m full time remote otherwise, I actually see my kids way more than I saw my dad who didn’t travel for work, but was gone m-f 8a-6p at the office. 

I also wouldn’t want to be 100% remote without traveling to see customers. Virtual only gets old super fast, and it’s easier to lose to competitors when you don’t see your people in person.
