Financial analyst jobs work hours in non-finance industry

Hello everyone!

I am Jefferey. I am quite interested in becoming a financial analyst. I'd like to ask some questions and info from you guys. A million thanks!

I'd like to work a job that has great work life balance like 40 hours a week. Because I want to take time caring for my kids.

If I choose to be a financial analyst in non-finance industry like Fedex, 7-11, or Amazon, will it be possible for me to work for standard work hours like about 40 hours a week? Lower annual salary like 50,000 will be fine.

Or you guys could suggest other finance job that requires only standard hours.

A million thanks!

Companies in growth mode (ex. Amazon) will pay higher, but work/life balance will not be as good. I would target mature, F500 type companies. They tend to have great work/life balance, and decent pay. Most Financial Analysts should come in starting around $50k, at those companies.

Certain Government jobs. Pay isn’t half bad, benefits are great, hours are short and work life balance is awesome. Can be mundane from what I hear, but will allow you a lot of time with your kids. Like financial planning for a city/ county.
