Would minoring in CS help me break into a corporate Tech Job?
I'm hoping to one day be able to break into a Corporate Job at a tech company of some sort (Dell, Oracle, Apple, or maybe SpaceX even though I don't think most people consider that tech). I will be attending Texas A&M for economics in the fall. I did not receive admission into Mays, which is why I'm studying econ and not finance. Because I have so many college credits already, I'll only be able to transfer in if they waive their 60 credit max rule (seems possible since all of my credits are Dual-enrollment, but not a guarantee).
Anyway, I was wondering if anybody had any thoughts on whether or not minoring in Computer Science would give me a better shot at a job in one of these companies or ones like it? I'm hoping to land a corp dev/strategy or maybe FP&A but I'm also not super picky I just think it would be cool to work for one of these companies. I am also not super informed on this side of finance as I've spent the last few months researching IBD, so any random tidbits of info are much appreciated.
What do you want to do at these tech companies?
Corp dev/strat folks come from banking/PE/consulting backgrounds.
If you want to work in their finance department, your current studies should be fine. You don't need to have a CS major/minor if you don't intend on working in actual tech development at these companies.
Are there any jobs you can think of that would mix the two at these companies?
