I long thought that I wanted to be in the finance/banking sector. I still do. But, I value work life balance more now. Unfortunately, given how conservative this sector is there isn’t much remote jobs available. Especially, for a junior like me! What other sectors would allow me to work remotely at least 70% of the time while putting my finance/banking skills to service?

Surely there's plenty of fintechs that aren't as rigid, as well as smaller or product-specific banks. There is much more to this industry than the big players.

1. I already gave the guidance and shed the light by suggesting where to look (and the other responses said the exact same thing). Traditional finance and fintechs are different worlds that often intersect; It's actually unreasonable to think that someone not in that world would know specific workplace policies and who's hiring, especially given the wide range of jobs that exist.

2. In terms of job searching; no, this person is not trying to help themselves (within the context of this post). We don't even know what they do, but should know places where they can do it from home? That makes no sense.

Look into tech companies

There's always room to explore in other departme that involve finance like recovery, lending, or dispute and these are good for a remote position

There is the financial technology sector. Otherwise look at tech companies. I highly encourage looking into engineering and science though.

Fintechs

I left my first job at small bank to work at a large fintech company where I’m now 100% remote with very occasional visits to the office. I know depending on location they have hybrid positions as well (2 days in office). That kind of WLB is very possible in fintech.
