I'm on track to start working as a trainee lawyer with one of the big international firms in the city come September. I've always hoped that i'll be able to find a niche in corporate work that allows for plenty of travel but I know it's more common in finance. A girl can dream anyway!
I am a man, working as cabin crew on a private jet... We are like rocking horse poop!
If you work hard enough and don't give up, you can make things happen. Good luck!

Mess around in oil fields, working 4 weeks followed by 4 weeks off. During the worked weeks, travel every other week on a Dash 8 between the fields & main offices. Then Air Astana Atyrau to & from Amsterdam at the start & end of stints, with a BA hop to LHR. Off weeks do a few trips usually booked through BA holidays!

I'm upthread somewhere, but since I get so much value from this forum I will repeat. I'm still fairly visible in the supercomputing or high performance computing world (hence the "HPC" handle). That increasingly touches other things like cloud, AI, etc.

Final year of undergrad in London - not exactly glamourous, but definitely taking advantage of all the free time to travel. Reckon I'll have less as I start work in management consulting next autumn, but hopefully will be sent off for my job time and again. On track to finally become a Gold boy this year - many thanks to FT and a good way to start off my career indeed.

I build the internet. :-)
Okay, so I am an IT Solutions Architect mostly working with internet service providers to develop their networks and services but I think the short version sounds cooler.
Annoyingly, my manager is currently trying to get me reassigned to a nine-month project within driving distance of my home. While the project is interesting from a technical perspective, I is going to make it hard to maintain status after next year. But I think that is what is sometimes called a "first world problem"…
