Curious what the WSO community's thoughts are on this. I'm currently at a startup after a stint in VC and was originally taking interviews for VC shops to go back BUT I'm getting close to an offer for an FP&A manager role at a fully distributed technology company.
Salary sucks at $120k but the role is 100% remote and lets me work from anywhere in the world. Hours are flexible too with a huge emphasis on doing work whenever you want as long as it's done. They don't even care if you have a side hustle. The company is very smooth-sailing so I'm not too concerned for job security
This opens a new door I hadn't considered before of being a digital nomad for a couple years. Major downside is that my career progression kind of halts but the hours & geographic flexibility does lean well into my long-term plan of starting a business of my own. Dancing is also an intense side hobby of mine and it'd be cool to do performances with my crew again
Clearly this is a to-each-his-own scenario but curious if anyone's done fully-remote finance roles before and how they felt about it
I’ve done FP&A remotely. It’s really easy. I could watch Netflix and do all the financial models at the same time.
If no wife and kids, and no plans of getting married soon (or ever) - sounds like a dream come true
1) take the job
2) move to hawaii
3) download tinder, bumble, etc. and get a girl
4) enjoy Hawaii and the girl while making $120k
hehehe you got it all figured out
Hawaii has pretty high COL actually.
Waiting for the Tim Ferriss SEA sex tourist crowd to come in. Not that Tim necessarily explicitly advocates for that; the philosophies are just often overlapped.
