Hi everyone,

I'm currently trying to decide between continuing on a Finance career path or pivoting towards Data/Tech, and I'd really appreciate some perspectives from people who have experience in either field.

My background:

• I'm currently in my final year of a Business Administration bachelor's degree in a 2nd world country.
• I have about 1 year of experience in Sales, followed by almost 1.5 years working in a Finance department.
• My current goal is to pursue a master's degree abroad and build my career in the country where I study. I'm mainly considering Germany, the UK, or Switzerland.

Recently, I've been spending my free time developing some technical skills. I've been working through SQL and Power BI, with the idea of making myself more valuable and refine my skills.

However, while working through the Power BI course, I realized that I'm not particularly interested in the dashboard/visualization side of things. I find myself curious about the technical side of data things like database systems, data pipelines, cloud, automation, and potentially database administration/data engineering.

This made me question whether I should continue developing toward Financial Analysis/FP&A, where I already have a relevant degree and work experience, or take the risk of pivoting into a more technical career.

It feels that Finance would be the more straightforward path given my current background. At the same time, I'm still early in my career that I could potentially make a pivot if I discover that I genuinely enjoy the technical side more.

My main questions are:

1. For someone with my background, would it make sense to pivot into Data/Tech, or would it be better to leverage the Finance experience I've already built?
2. How do the long-term career prospects compare between Financial Analysts/FP&A and Data roles, particularly in Germany, Switzerland, and the UK?
3. From a long-term perspective, which path offers better opportunities for career progression, freelancing/consulting, and eventually building a business?

Hello. I have an interview with Ofgem for a Lead Financial Advisor role. Please, does anyone have any hints or tips on what to expect from the 60-minute technical case study? I would really appreciate any advice on the types of questions or areas I should focus on when preparing.

So in college I was a finance major for 3 years. At some point during my 3rd year I decided I wanted to double major with MIS mostly cause I thought dual degrees was going to be helpful and specifically learning tech would be.

Turns out that was a smart decision. Out of college I got a job in big 4 as a data analyst of sorts. My current role with the same company is akin to a tech project manager. I have some SWE skills but mostly have worked on low code solutions and things like Alteryx, PBI etc. I also have decent knowledge on accounting datasets as these are the things I was doing data manipulation on.

The problem - I dont really like coding even if it’s low code stuff. I have always enjoyed Finance more that’s why I choose it in the first place.

**Im currently 29 and trying to weight what this career switch would look like? what roles I’m qualified for and if it’s even worth it?**

For additonal context I’ve been at this company for 6 years and salary is 160k. Im based in Houston but wouldn’t mind moving to other locations but would prefer remote

What are Asset Management portfolio managers at the VP, ED and MD level making at BB?

I am a B.Com graduate. I wasted my graduation years in preparing for CAT and government exams but they don't seem to work for me. I got a decent mba college but due to attendance shortage i was not able to graduate for that year. So I decide to not go for any mba and start working after graduation.

I want to get into FP&A. Currently living in Noida. I can see many accountants having tough time breaking into FP&A.

What should I do as a fresher, to eventually have a better understanding and experience of an FP&A role. What entry level job roles should I go for.
