I would like to stay at EY for a total of 2 years and then get a lax remote job that allows my bf and I to travel Europe. I truly wish I could work internationally and stay with EY, but I also think I would enjoy the experience more if I was working a job that’s max 40 hours a week and very chill. Does anyone have any suggestions? I’ll have my CPA by the time I leave (I’m in my first year rn). Bf is an attorney and looking for a lax job as well for the year. Thank you everyone <3

Lax jobs comes in two ways:

1. Low salary ,stress, flexibility, and promotion because the job is easy and everyone wants it.

2. You have developed a niche knowledge where you can dictate where you work and your expertise gives you the ability to set terms with your employer.

Seeing as you have two years and a CPA (i.e. the same qualifications as everyone else) it'll be a tough time to find that job because the competition will be high with other people who want it easy.

smart

I haven’t looked into it, but maybe you should try one of the outsource tax firms and see if they have a policy for international remote contractors. As a contractor, most employee issues don’t exist, but the firm needs to confirm all disclosures are provided to clientele (for bringing work overseas).

I know my firm has remote workers in diff countries (Europe, India, asia etc). they are classified as contractors and the firm will only assign clients who have given consent for international outsourcing.

Oh that’s a great idea. I’ll bring it up with my counselor

I also would really like a job that isn’t so stressful and I can be hard on my log off time

you and everyone else

Yeah I’m good w no promo and low salary as I just want to do it for a year

If you only want to do it for a year, then just take a sabbatical.

I think your going to have difficulty finding a company that will allow you to just travel the world while working. Most companies have restrictions on bringing company devices internationally unless pre approved.

I’d your with EY may want to consider an international rotation in Europe someone and do weekend trips and vacations while on rotation.
