Developer/consultants for government contractors.
My coworkers and I move to different project sites on time scales ranging from 1-5 years. We do government software and live on-site in the capitols where we're working. Most developers move from one semi-permanent office to another new client after the project transitions to a maintenance mode.
Experienced devs in particular sub systems might go on 1-3 week trips to other locations to bootstrap or assist on large issues.
Devs are also a large part of our marketing department. A few are regularly tasked with putting together demos for clients and delivering them on-site; others help as needed.
Most devs also have the opportunity to attend career fairs to assist the recruiters. I've personally attended 3 in 4 years. It's such a good opportunity to be the face of your company and have the first round recommendation on hires. Sure the management has the final say but they definitely value our input.
My job is defined by travel, some stops are just longer than others.
If any of this sounds interesting to you, shoot me an email, I'd love to talk with you about it.
