职业in Finance - but also lots of time to travel

你好。

I'm a 3rd year student at University of Toronto in Rotman Commerce and I'm looking into a career in finance (IB,PE,,,,HFall great). I interned last summer for 10 weeks at Goldman here in Toronto and really enjoyed it. I've been thinking more about what specifically I would like to pursue and I began doing research and talking to my professors.

说实话,大gest criteria for me as I explore my opportunities is vacation time. I absolutely love to travel and have been doing it my whole life. I'm fortunate to have the financial means to travel frequently and it's not something I look to stop. I travelled extensively as a child and in my teens with my family, visiting 53 countries by the end of high school. I continued my travel through university, taking a ~1 month (between 4 and 5 week) trip in the summers, and smaller trips during Christmas/New Years and in the Spring.

至今:
越南1个月
1month in Sri Lanka
塞舌尔1周
2weeks in Brazil
1week in Turks and Caicos
1week skiing in France
许多漫长的周末小旅行(LA,SF,Cabo,Vancouver,Montreal,Aruba,St. Lucia)

当涉及工作类型或公司时,您对我有什么建议,以牢记我想继续旅行。在一个理想的世界中,每年夏天休息4周,圣诞节的1-2周以及全年的其他休假日的1周。

A few details: I'm Canadian and would prefer to stay in Canada. Would also consider New York City, London, San Francisco, Hong Kong, and (maybe) Singapore.

TL;DR I am a Canadian undergrad student looking for a career in Finance that allows me to continue doing what I love most (travel) while also being able to be competitive when climbing the corporate ladder towards better positions within a company.

谢谢!

My first thought was consulting. You might be able to find something along those lines that will let you work remotely, but I wouldn't really consider this "competitive" and the salary will most likely take a hit. Let me know if you find what you're looking for though.

Sorry dude, taking 6-7 weeks of vacation will not allow you to climb the corporate ladder, at least not at a good pace. You need to decide what's more important to you. Traveling is awesome, but I don't know of any great finance jobs that allow that kind of time at the entry level.

同意。金融上没有很多机会,您有很多不断的时间去做自己喜欢的事情。如果您不介意短暂的旅行,请坚持前往欧洲或亚洲(香港/新加坡/上海)。

咨询is another option, though you don't necessarily have enough time to fully experience the location and also you're in that working/business mindset still. Another option is to relocate your office at work once you're 2-3 years in, to another country.

You also travel a lot and that costs money. Personally I would keep it to 2 long trips a year (July-Aug and Nov-Feb), and maybe one short trip during an extended weekend holiday.

Banking you won't have any of this opportunity. You should look into英石where they have the mandatory 2 weeks which you can use for travel and also many consulting shops are generally good with PTO and using it

I've been doing a bit more research and I'm considering France, as they have 25 days mandatory PTO. Ardian, possibly. The issue is salary inPEin France is 1/4 of the salary in the US and 1/3 of the salary in Canada.

是的,这似乎与我发现的一切一致。这是工作一部分的大量旅行的财务工作呢?我正在考虑一些可能有3周假期的事情,但一项涉及很多旅行的工作(可能NYC,,,,SF, or Toronto based with lots of travel to Shanghai//Singapore). Any ideas?

Any industries/companies where there would be lots of opportunities for travel as part of work that you would suggest I look into?

另外,无薪时间放假吗?例如,如果我在PTO 2-3周找到工作,我可以选择再休息2周但无薪吗?如果可以的话,我肯定会愿意这样做。

最有帮助

As others have saidIB是100%否。

英石/咨询would offer you the best options.

我知道您正在尝试将工作与您的激情相匹配,但您也可能想将自己的激情与工作相匹配。听着,我明白了,我在一个大家庭中,在夏天,我们度过了一个长期的假期,冬天有一个较小的旅行。进来英尺,,,,I had to compromise. Maybe I would join my family for 9 days of their 2 week vacation (M-F off, both weekends). That way I can take a solid trip and only use 5 of my 15 PTO days. Another thing people do is take, for example, tomorrow off since Monday is a holiday and turn that into a 4 day weekend for trips.

For Christmas week most people work from home / remotely during the week. Like I said... there are options but you need to embrace the reality that the 4 week vacations won't be cutting it anymore, regardless of what job you have.

I asked this previously but didn't get a reply: Is unpaid time off a thing? I'm seeing that 4 week PTO won't happen, but if I have, say, 2 weeks PTO, is it realistic to be able to talk to my boss and take another 2-3 weeks off throughout the year but without pay? Would that be a bad decision? I would honestly not mind going 2-3 weeks without pay in order to travel, but I'm not sure if that would be allowed.

这取决于。我想对于每小时的付费工作,您可以更少的工作和更少的薪水。但是大多数金融工作(尤其是在BB/EBbanks) tend to have analyst programs. These are more structured and you can't really take unpaid time off. So I suppose it would be more dependent on the company, but as far as I can tell there is no unpaid time off in finance, where almost every employee is utilized / depended on regularly. This even includes professions like consulting, where technically you bill based on billable hours but you're still locked in at a salary.

我听到您的声音 - 我本人是一个很大的旅行者,但是当我工作时,我必须妥协。我尝试进行很多周末的旅行,尤其是在漫长的周末(我在欧洲,所以对我来说可能比您更容易)。

6-7 weeks is very unlikely as a possibility. You won't be able to climb the corporate ladder easily, and while unpaid leave is possible (but may vary depending on company policy), I would assume that this unpaid leave is typically taken by people with issues at home (death in the family, prolonged illness of a family member, etc), rather than holidays.

至少在入门级,您最多可以每年休息4周。更高,您可能会得到更多。我会担心要休假旅行,因为当您低水平并可以更换离开旅行时,您可能看起来不太致力于这份工作,并且可能会发现自己是可以消耗的。我可以想到一些例子IBanalyst friends have dropped everything/ cancelled holidays to get something done in the office. Unfortunately is the nature of the work.

咨询is probably your best bet... BUT you won't be able to completely control where or when you will go, and you'll be on business. Best of luck with this.
