High salary with no travel - do these jobs exist?

[ChangePlease]

I’m talking £150k plus. I’m just back from another business trip and I’m so done with it. It’s just not compatible with family life or my personality. I’ve been there and done it and it holds no thrill anymore. But I don’t want to take a pay cut or step down.

If you earn this or more, and have zero travel, what do you do?

IFA to HNW individuals, so wealth management. 19 professional exams and 20 years experience. Work part time school hours. Very family friendly, very interesting.

City lawyer. Earn a lot more than that and rarely travel abroad. Maybe once a year for a conference but could opt out of that if needed.

My DH works in finance (deputy CFO). Earns well into 6 figures. Hasn't travelled at all in his current job. He's got a new job where he may have to go to Scotland for a couple of days every few months but that will be it.

I'd say it rare. Even if there's no travel you are expected to be available outside of 9-5. If you want a job with set hours no travel there's plenty but less pay

I don’t mind working outside’normal’ hours when needed, just not international/ overnight travel

It's less about the job and more about the company. Try to find a C level position for an industry UK based. They do exist.

What are your skills OP, what do you currently do?

@Livinghappy yes the company I work for now is US / global…

@GrimeldaNorth corporate affairs to group it as simply as possible

Not me but I work in recruitment HR. Some of our recruitment consultants earn that and then some.

Don't do a global role (bitter experience!) or in my current situation work somewhere where all the travel budget has been cut!

I work in a senior arts/culture role - won’t say more as it would be outing but I am the MD of a mid-size company, 60 employees. Earn 200k, have to go to the US maybe once every two years and could probably make it less than that if I wanted to. I sympathise, as I enjoy business travel less and less the older I get.

US investment bank. I've travelled once in 8 years.

Our Managing Director is on more than that and travel for him is a night or two a couple of times a year for key meetings / dinner with business partners abroad. They're not strictly necessary though and the meetings could be done on Zoom if he didn't want to go.

Ok so maybe not global role / company is the way forward- thanks for all the replies

@Bemusedandconfusedagain @pjparty are your roles hybrid or WFH or full time in office? And do you live in London? If you don’t mind me asking

I work 90% over 5 days and am in 2/3 days a week, rest at home. I commute in.

Sounds great @Bemusedandconfusedagain!

Director, 350k. Environmental stuff. I actually like the travel. It's all business class but if you don't fancy it, you can go economy and claim the difference.

Environmental and business class, irony is not dead
