Looking for advice - Current sophmore at Indiana University
Hi, I am currently a sophomore at Indiana University. I am double majoring in Infromatics (computer science) and Economics.
My dream job is to have a finance career, specifically private equity or investment banking. I have an internship this summer in California working for an online stock broker called Ditto Trade.
Now I know this might seem like a dumb question but do you guys think that I am on a good path to getting my dream job. I am highly skilled with computer programming and statistical software.
nope...read a little bit on these forums about what a finance career looks like...PE and IB have nothing to do with programming and stats...so you don't need that. ..that said you might use your skills/knowledge down the line when looking at software companies, etc....with your skills you could fit a trader role or something quant....IB and PE is all about common sense, credit and equity analysis, relationship building, and business sense.
I understand what skills pay off in IB and PE, I think my skills definitely align with these careers. However, I will acknowledge that I need to learn more about the ins and outs of these businesses before I have an interview. Hopefully I learn more about the finance world at my internship this summer.
Also, I am pretty much open to any career in the finance world.
