I have been on private management calls with people from C/M and they were clearly at home. If you can make money, there is evidently a lot of leash. 

 

Definitely not as a new entry-level hire and it depends on the fund. I know senior analyst/trader types (4-5+ YOE) who WFH without issue. If you have proven P&L you can probably negotiate it if it's something the firm doesn't have explicit rules against/cultural resistance to (e.g. never met people from C/MLP who WFH but P72/Exodus I've met some).  For PMs who put up $$$ I'd be shocked if it's a dealbreaker. 

Taking off for your honeymoon is very different than asking to WFH so not sure this really translates to your fear.

Think you’re thinking about this wrong. The goal is to generate returns. It does not matter if your go into the office everyday and work 100 hours a week or if you work remotely from Florida. Lot of leash for strong performers.
That being said it’s not like you’re going to be able to set a “on honeymoon auto reply email” and just completely disconnect.. the market moves whether you’re on vacation or not.
