Consulting or maybe big four
Can confirm about big four. Domestic travel is extremely common if you're on hospitality clients, and it's possible to get secondments to go to different countries, had a manager come back recently from 2 years in the UK.
some type of wholesaler.
Consulting is probably the big one
Travel - Specific roles/jobs/departments in finance? (Originally Posted: 06/21/2009)
I've already done a search and was surprised there wasn't a topic on this.
What specific roles/jobs/departments in finance involve a lot of international travel?
I would like to hear about this too.
As a junior these days you will only travel if it is for a deal and the client is paying expenses.
In general the only way you are guaranteed some travel is if you are covering a specific geography and are based in a hub that is not that geography, ie London for most banks acts as a hub for a very large region. For the above though you need to have languages and/or local knowledge otherwise your travel will be purely by chance if a deal comes up and for some reason you need to go there.
Some markets stuff has more travel but again it's usually only after a few yrs work that you get to go.
Internal Audit within FMP type programs travel (depending on your company ie F500, it will be international)
Management Consulting - no shit, you should prepare to be a road warrior.
Big 4 Audit, Tax, Consulting, etc. - you'll get a good amount of traveling in.
Banking - Not so much, unless you are a really attractive girl/guy and your MD wants to fuck you. Or if you can speak German, Chinese, etc. and your team needs a translator.I'm making it up as I go along.
