Sometimes that's just consulting. Your goal is always to make your company look good to the client. You already flew out and forfeited your week to be on site for those sweet sweet billable hours. You have to be done by Friday because that's when you go home, so you get out of the client's office at 6-7 (always after your boss leaves), and you have the choice to sit in your hotel room bored or keep going. You finish working at 3am, but have to be in before your boss looking fresh, so you iron everything, shower/shave, and do it all again.
And if you work on site at a bank on the east coast, you better have a nice suit. Otherwise nowadays you're usually fine with slacks and a button down at most places.
Honestly it can be a lot of fun, in small doses (do that every week for months and you realize why not everyone is a consultant though)
