OLTRAMARI, Andrea Poleto; GRISCI, Carmem Ligia Iochins  and  ECCEL, Claudia Sirangelo. Career and family life: a study of bank executives. Rev. bras. orientac. prof [online]. 2015, vol.16, n.2, pp. 185-195. ISSN 1679-3390.

This article aimed to describe the implications considering the choice for banking career in the division of family labor and its consequences for women´s professional life. The theoretical and empirical study included 14 interviews with seven couples, all men were bank executives. Collective categories were constructed during the analysis and were discussed considering the theoretical framework, especially gender and career. The results indicate workload for the wives of bankers and losses relating to their own career as a result of the need to follow their husbands across the geographic mobility that banks impose to them. Banking careers wind up repeating the man's role as the main financial provider in the family.

Keywords : banking job; career; banker; family life.
