I used to travel doing optical networking deployments between data centers. Got to see a good 35+ states and even some foreign countries over 4 years or so but also completely burnt out. Telecom is a pretty miserable industry.

Most of the work in/around DCs is contract of some sort. Local structured cabling firms, electricians doing stints of various lengths, security, etc. Some of it good and lucrative, some of it not.

I did the same in europe and burnt out with my colleague after ~3 years. Working and driving at night, barely enough sleep and overtime compensation during the time the body needs to recover was the worst. I probably aged 10 years in that time.
