Asynchronous Jobs with little / no FaceTime

Curious about what types of roles would allow for asynchronous work and little to no FaceTime. Meaning I could go skiing during the day and crank out work later at night on my own pace, etc.

Would love to hear any antidotes / thoughts here. Assuming something like FP&A that has recurring tasks and high visibility for deadlines

Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are some roles that might allow for asynchronous work with little to no FaceTime:

  1. Tech Business Roles:

    • Data Analyst: Often found in tech companies, these roles can be flexible and allow for asynchronous work.
    • Supply Chain Roles: Positions in tech companies that manage logistics and supply chains can also offer flexibility.
  2. Corporate Finance:

    • FP&A (Financial Planning & Analysis): While some FP&A roles can be demanding, others offer recurring tasks with high visibility for deadlines, allowing for more flexibility.
  3. Remote Jobs:

    • Prop Tech Startups: These roles can be flexible, especially in early-stage companies.
    • Non-Local Government Positions: These can offer a good work/life balance with less stress.
  4. Human Resources (HR):

    • HR Roles: Generally less competitive and stressful, these roles can offer a good balance and flexibility.

FP&A is generally well covered I think. Budgeting, LRPs, quarter-end close and some accounting-like tasks. Pay growth isn’t spectacularly relatively speaking and remote opportunities are drying up but if you can find one that is almost certainly a shoe-in for async work

Valuation requires a more niche / technical background. Usually having worked on PPAs, Goodwill Impairment and other financial reporting related valuation work, also credit / portfolio valuation (illiquid loans and things like that). A friend of mine was working at a FTI, Kroll, A&M type services firm pulling in 200k+ on 35hr/wk fully remote in his late 20s. He’s now moved over to working for a boutique advisor working less and making more.

Fund valuation at Thoma Bravo or Blackstone type roles are awesome but niche and hard to win given the background required
