    The time between offer and acceptance is the time to be resolving issues of this nature (Ideally you would have discussed in interview but I totally understand you didn't want to jinx it)
    If you start and then say you can't travel, you'll be shown the door pretty quick

    The interview is for a Management Consultant. Travelling to client's sites is going to be a requirement. If you are not able to do this, you need to tell them now, otherwise you are only going to be working there for a short time before they show you the door.

    Totally agree, Mgt consultant role and cant travel is :eek:

    Hey guys

    Thanks for the responses. Just to clarify, the job is actually not in the UK - but in south africa. I dont have a problem with travelling to client sites so long as its a commute and im not expected to stay there for days on end. Reasons for not being able to travel - I moved here from the UK, i barely know the place and safety is a huge concern. I also got married a little while ago and staying out of town for several months would not be conducive to my relationship...

    And you didn't think that piece of information was relevant when asking a question on a UK forum?
