Learn coding and take out traveling.
sales and trading might be your speed
You don’t need to know how to code to do S&T at a normal bank. The environment is very fast-paced and competitive, and you will be making big $$ especially if you move to HF later on after starting in banking.
Travelling isn’t that compatible with the rest of your requirements. However as a trader you will not be working on weekends / bank holidays, so for what it’s worth you can use that time to travel, which is not a possibility in IB / PE.
normal bank as in ? For HF, don't I need coding? Doesn't IB have a Sales & Trading Department?
Normal bank as in doing Sales & Trading at a BB or any other regular bank in a non-quant role.
By the time you move on to a HF the landscape may have changed significantly and coding knowledge may become essential.
For now though, your best bet at fulfilling your requirements is getting a S&T gig and see where it goes from there.
Scratch the trading part and do IB at Moelis. You'll have so much free time, you won't know what to do with your time after you've circled the globe thrice.
Do Moelis analysts travel a lot?
