What finance jobs can be done from a laptop at home or anywhere?
I intend to have invasive surgery in the next five years that will require me to take six months to heal. I will still be able to use a laptop in the process of this surgery. What finance jobs can I get or build in which I can work from a laptop? Building a business is also a good option as well, but which finance industry will allow me to wrk from my laptop.
@Attack_Chihuaha" is a master of the art of staying home alone because he has never once had a female accompany him to bed.
FratLord is a master of trolling on the net, because he has never held a real job and his work experience section only includes one job - FratLord of a beta frat.
I work from all over the world, with 2 laptops (Macbook Pro and IBM Thinkpad).
Sometimes I do a few trades from my iPhone. Maybe I'll work 2-3 hours / day, doing some research or writing a position thesis report. You probably have to raise some $ and start an investment fund.
Mine isn't a big fund at all, but the fees/percentage take allow for a decent income while letting me live in a different country every 2-3 months.
Honestly if it's not going to be for a while you're probably better off just taking the job you want to get, and then taking paid leave when you have to get your procedure done. I don't think they can ask about medical when they hire you and worst case scenario you'll have a few years of good experience below your belt so you can get back to it once you're back on your feet. Haven't been in that situation but it seems like a sensible narrative to explain you had some good years at a good firm and then were forced to leave (hopefully not) for a procedure and you're hungry to get back into the game.
Trading, Research, Entrepreneurship can all be good options. However, what I'd recommend is doing what you want to do and get very good at it. Then, stay at your employer for at least a year or two (if possible) before undergoing your procedure. If you add value and have built up some goodwill, places will do their best to make it work.
The main problem you're going to face is that most places will put you on unpaid medical leave. If that's not what you want you're going to really have to have the trust of management.
Another option I'd consider is corporate finance. While many large organizations are pretty old and conservative, those with larger teams might be able to help craft a flexible role for you (if you've earned it).
