Do electrical engineers get to travel?

Question

Do electrical engineers get to travel around the United States with their travel expenses covered by their employer?

Answer 1

It depends on what job you have. I travel quite a bit and my travel expenses are covered by my employer. It is nice to have the opportunity to visit different parts of the country, but I'm usually so busy I don't get to enjoy everything a particular region has to offer.

Answer 2

While working for the first 2 employers of my career, I travelled several times per year, sometimes for 2 days, sometimes for a week. All expenses were paid. All travel was in various parts of the United States (no international travel).

While working for my current employer, I have yet to travel.

So... it just depends on who you work for and the exact nature of your engineering job.

Answer 3

If they need to go somewhere at the request of their employer then their expenses will be reimbursed. Not all electrical engineers travel as part of their job. My guess: A few do, most don't.

Answer 4

They can. Some electrical engineers have to go to all kinds of places all over the world to set up, install, debug, modify, and maintain various electrical systems. If it's work-related, your employer will pay for your travel, your hotel/lodging, and will probably give you an allowance for meals and other incidental expenses.

Answer 5

We used to travel a lot but now just about everything is done by video conferencing. The travel is pretty limited now.

Answer 6

Hell yes...they get to travel around the world like that. see, they get per diem which reimburses them for expenses incurred while working 100 or more miles away from home.

Answer 7

Your tenacity in ending your practise is admirable. As a former employer i ought to understand your favor to journey existence. even if, once employed, i ought to anticipate your loyalty and dedication to the pastime..
