If word finance was a person he would look like this
Kudos to all the responsible early year-teenagers planning ahead
💯💯
Not really early, I got a fee months left before I'm done with hs and I don't have any idea what to do except finance and money

What for
Lol uk whats funny, i wrote this comment 5 yrs ago, and chose a diff field
Accounting (Financial Accounting, Audit, Tax, Consulting)
Corporate Finance (Corporate / Management Accounting, Internal Audit)
Investment Banking (Investment Trading, Equity Research, Capital Markets (Debt / Stocks - IPO), Mergers and Acquisitions.
Investments (Financial Advisory (CFP), investment services )
you’re a legend
Here in Colombia (and I guess some other develping economies), Accounting and finance are a separate thing. Professional accountants tend to choose the accounting path, and other professions are left with the other three (If you are not a certified accountant you cannot legally do some things. like being an auditor or corporate accounting)
@@juselara02 Exactly, but as accountant you need to know a little about Finance, and a lot about Tax and Accountant (ofc).
Financial analysis, where it would fit? Is a good career?
An aside tip for you guys
I'm an economics major with an emphasis in Finance, I found this video to be very information-rich in terms of potential career paths. Good job!!
I'm glad you enjoyed the video, Wylie! Please let me know if there are any other topics you would like me to cover.
@@thefinancemajor. Your video is extremely informative and helped me a lot. Can you dive into private banking a little more? Where does this fall in your flowchart? Thanks!
I am completely satisfied with my trades since i learned how to trade forex the right way, Finding The Vlad Ibrahimov Strategy has been an amazing experience and i think this is crucial information for all , google it.
I’m going to uni in September and I’m not sure whether to study economics and finance or business management, any suggestions??

I want to go into finance and I prefer working individually but I’ll also work pretty well with a team. Thank you for the video it’s very helpful
So what do you recommend ? As you are a loner ? What path is better ?
Being overwhelmed with all the job prospects available in Finance (and Business in general) is something I can relate to on a personal level lol. I'm about to graduate with a Bachelor in B.A - Finance in May and I STILL don't know what career path to go for, but this video certainly helped!
Thank you. I am currently in the last year of high school and I was not sure of what to do after school and in the future. This gave me a good starting point to gain better insight in the finance career. ✌🏼

Amazing content! Very clear! Thanks. For a person with no math, engineering or business background who wants to get into the finance, in order to get to the entry level position which finance major do you suggest to take? Thanks!
Thanks, Kyle, This is an awesome video. I just ask my professor the career path two months ago and couldn't get a clear graph like the video showed.
Thanks Yimin, I'm glad the video was helpful! Keep in mind that these are the main career paths that finance majors end up pursuing upon graduation, not a comprehensive list of finance careers. Opportunities for finance majors are endless!
Thanks 🙏🏾 man for breaking this down so eloquently!!
Thank you!!

Economics degree and currently a VP in Treasury Management at one of the top 5 Banks. The coursework is absolutely relevant to my career!
Thank you. I am a 22 yr old trying to finish my accounting associates and considering moving into Finance. This video has helped me a lot while I'm trying to get my life together. I am extremely grateful for this information.
stay in accounting. finance and economics majors are dead-end career paths. finance majors are over-educated salespeople. GET THAT CPA.
@@cirobarzollini6745 can you elaborate more?
Commercial banks and insurance companies are some of the largest financial institutions and employers of finance majors. Insurance is not always considered part of "finance" but not mentioning commercial banks is a big oversight.
I'm 15 and this is really helpful!!!!!! I'm seriously considering getting a finance major in the future.
Happy to hear that, Xavier! Best of luck!

Hey Kyle, Kyle here. Just graduated with a Finance degree from UTSA. Interesting channel, keep up the good work!
Congratulations on graduating as a Roadrunner, Kyle! What are your plans? Also, what kind of topics do you think would be helpful for other finance majors?
My plan is to find a job. I think it would be beneficial to talk about how to successfully conduct a job search in order to land a job in a desired field!
This post on my website may be helpful to you! It's called "How to Start Your Internship Search," but the information applies to job searches as well. Let me know if you have any questions!

Good video! I am working currently in the Transfer Pricing Financial Transactions team in Big4 (like establishing the correct price for intra-company or intra-group transfers in loans, bonds, guarantees, cash pooling etc), and sometimes do the valuation of intangibles like royalties and patents for transfers as well. Do you think I have a shot in corporate finance sphere? Major is Financial Economics.
Thanks this was really helpful.. may I suggest, if possible can you make a video on day to day challenges/decisions that each role entails. That would give a really practical view of different careers...thanks again
Hi Aditya. I agree, and will begin interviewing individuals within these different fields. Check out my interview with an Internal Client Advisor at one of the largest investment banks in the world: czcams.com/video/tfF2gmUzhPo/video.html

Thank you so much for this video. It debunk my lack of information and think accounting is the only jobs for Finance major.
Happy to help!
Keep making these videos they’re great!
Thanks Julian! Happy to help!
Honestly God bless you.
I majored in management and minored in finance now working in Investment banking, a great path as long as you can handle the stress of it.
Did you network your way in? Been thinking of investment banking myself.
I sort of fell into it by getting my foot in the door though an Office Temp agency. But I wouldn't say that's the way to go for everyone.
it was a well explained presentation is it wise to take a carrer change into finance after 40 years
so useful, thank u!
I really found the video to be very explicit, it has made everything so clear that I now know exactly what’s the difference between every single one. 💯💯👍🏻🙏🏻
I'm a Finance major with a minor in business analytics. I work part time in corporate finance/govt contracting while going to school full time & found this video incredibly helpful as I parse out which path I want to take. After my internship with a financial advisory firm I realized I had more options & was conflicted whether I wanted to go down the path of wealth management or stay in corporate or even maybe private banking/research. Theres so many options but I feel drawn to stay in corporate & maybe pursue another path once I get more experience under my belt. Would love some advice if anyone has similar experience, thanks for the video!
How would u rate it? I’m in my second year and going to change my major to business, but I’m still undecided between Economics and finance.
@@angue9613 I knew some econ & finance double majors as well as accounting it seemed like finance was the most practical but it had to do w the professors being more helpful with networking in the field. I'd suggest focusing on internships as much as you can experience will always beat out the type of degree.
@@sexiiliexi last question brother . I plan to follow the same path as you. I’m going to get a bs/mba in finance.
Would u say corporate finance is a good specialization for the mba? How is the actual job and what do u think the salary range would be with an mba?
Would u recommend I do business analytics as a minor or CS. ( ain’t that good at coding) but I don’t know which one we be more beneficial.
( i also have 2 internships going on 3)
So what is the difference between financial advising and investment management? Which one is more of a sales role? And which one is more analytical. They both sounded very similar. Thank you!
And-can I take the exam before I have working hours? Or do I have to get experience first?
Very well explained
Helps a lot!
Thank you soo much man
Thank you so much for simplifying. I need your advice plz. I am majoring in finance and prefer to work individually. Is tax the only way?
Hi, great video. I'm a MSc in engineering and been working as an engineer for last 7 year. I have a strong interest for investments, financial analysis and lately I've been drawn more and more to finance. What positions would you recommend as an entry position to start off in finance?
Thank you so much. 👌
Watching from Timor leste
You are the beeeeesssttttttt thank you very much
Clearly explained !
Thank you for this video. I'm starting on my BS in Accounting and Finance in around 14 days. Still having a hard time choosing between them.
What did you end up choosing?
@@edf6082 I'm leaning towards f io nance but my intro to accounting class is also fun. I won't decide for sure until I've taken 1 beginner class in accounting and one in finance.
Same here, I have a high interest in accounting; however my school offers a finance major program that only requires you to take 36 credit hours. I'm not sure how to incorporate these two disciplines together.
video length is 9:58. this man is the anti-sellout
Hi, this was truly informative! I would like to know the possible career paths in derivatives trading. I have learnt about options futures and derivatives and their pricing in my Finance class and wanted to know if there is any profession that allows me to work with them. Like pricing, risk assessing anything of the sort. Just a noob passing by! Thanks in advance
Sales and Trading (S&T) or Market Risk Management could be good career paths that allow you to work with derivatives. I may interview someone in this field for a future video.
Very helpful.
Oh my gosh thank you
Thank you
Thank you so much
Great. Absolutely great

Please provide an information difference between finance and international business.
Finance gets you a good stable job, international business gets you a job at Starbucks
Great video! Very informational, short, and sweet. However, I disagree with the statement that finance majors can take on accounting roles. They technically "can" take on accounting roles. Although, ultimately, if you're considering an accounting role, I recommend majoring in accounting. Accounting firms prefer an accounting student over a finance student. This is something I've learned through personal experience at job fairs and via recruiting for my accouting firm. Just some food for thought.
you are the best man !
Happy to help!
I wish this was longer!!
Thats what she said!
Wish me luck yall
Informative video bro, wish you made it bk in 2003. Lol I remember when me and 2 other Finance Grads were standing in a circle wondering what to do with our Degrees. You should find and interview some professionals in the branches you laid out. It'll be very informative and good for your channel ! Thnx.

Hi, could you please share the name of the core courses you took, and in what order...
Thanks, I'm in accountancy and finance, second year student, I think after accounting I will do a master in one finance area
Thanks
great video!
Thanks, Elijah!
Please could you explain more on Financial Planning and Analysis- the companies,skillsets at entry level,etc... something in depth
FP&A is required in most large companies, for example Unilever, Amazon etc. The analysts in the dept. will investigate the performance of the company and recommend actions to take. Skill sets required include commercial accumen, excel, critical thinking and data analysis. Hope this helps 🙂
I’m in grade 10 but this is very helpful
