A big problem with Putnam is that they are kinda dependent on a few key clients, which could make the company somewhat shaky in bad times.

We are not like many consulting firms in terms of travel. We do most of the work at the office. The people who do travel and get a lot of face-time with the client are Senior and Consultants. I would like to get out more and have more interaction with a client as an early Analyst.

Don't expect to interact too much with a client as a first or third year. You will participate with clients through calls, emails, and some meetings. The Consultants, Partners, and Associates are the ones who interact heavily with clients.
