i have been told that you should be 100% ok for travelling around - and working 5 days away from home - in ACN. But in reality, how much % do ppl travel working for accenture? Is it any different from companies like Infosys, IBM, Cognizant ?it would be grt if ppl who are working in accenture can share their thoughts

Very similar to those firms. Average maybe 70%, but your mileage will surely vary - projects tend to be several months, of either lots of travel (e.g. 100%) or on the bench/internal (e.g. 0%) travel.
