Finance Executive
Have you even thought that normal working hours might becoming obsolete,, especially for finance field. My cousin in banking says he basically works 24/7 because of clients in different time zones. Meanwhile, my friend in fintech has flexible hours and works from anywhere (even Bali sometimes!). What’s your take? Are we really moving away from the 9-to-5, or is it just a trend that will fade?

9-to-5 isn’t dead, but it’s evolving. Traditional finance jobs still demand crazy hours, but fintech and startups are proving that flexibility works. It really depends on the industry and company culture. Personally, I’d take work-life balance over being on call 24/7 any day!
