Does your college major matter for finance jobs?
I am wondering: does your college major matter for finance jobs? I have heard you can learn everything needed for interviews and the FT analyst job from courses rather than studying finance in college.
If so, what’s the point of being a finance major?
A finance major at a semi-target / non-target is a good way to indicate seriousness. A bunch of target schools don’t have a finance major, so students tend to pick an adjacent major such as economics instead. Major choice matters less for target school students as opposed to non-target school students who may have less of a defined pipeline into IB recruiting
Kind of. It isn’t important in terms of knowledge, unless you go to one of a very small number of schools. The only real value it has is in signaling to employers that you are genuinely interested in finance
