Struggling with Finance and Industrial Engineering Major

Hey all,

I am currently pursuing a double major in Finance and Industrial Engineering and finding it challenging to balance both. The workload and complexity of subjects in both fields are overwhelming, and I am unsure how to manage my time effectively or which resources to rely on for better understanding. Has anyone else been through a similar experience? and I also read this https://www.wallstreetoasis.com/forum/investment-banking/feeling-like-an-outcast-in-this-ib-world-struggling-academicallygolang-vs-java. If Any tips on study strategies, time management, or specific resources that could help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your support....

What year are you? Maybe drop the industrial engineering major. Top finance jobs and internships require a high GPA.
