Great video - thanks for the day in the life of a FA @ Tesla. I recently graduated with a Math degree and hoping to get into this field. Quite a pivot, but it's where my post-grad interest lies. Appreciate the insight.
This is fantastic. I'm an old duffer, and we had nothing like the info contained in this video when I was starting my career. Incredibly high-value!!!! 🔥
I would never be able to be a Financial Analyst. I start at 8:30AM, finish at 4:30PM and I take an hour break at noon and two 15 min breaks throughout the day (morning & afternoon). At 4:30PM I'm already tired of work. lol
You guys were wondering what I'm doing for work. I'm a pension administration employee in an insurance company. I spend most of my days investigating problems and analyzing death claims for annuity group policies. I'm not really passionate about what i'm doing (my background is in political science) but I'm not complaining because I have a stable permanent job in a business division in important growth (aging population) and I can manage my time the way I want. I also work remotely and I can go work in a coffee shop if I have no meeting. I can do some overtime but very rarely. It used to be a nightmare a few years ago when I was also taking inbound calls from annuitants who were always calling to complaint about where's their money. I was on the brink of a burnout. But I am not facing the client anymore, I'm just analyzing claims and doing more complex tasks while listening to music with my headphones (and I used to do overtime + following a tight call center schedule + not being able to work from a coffee shop). All things considered, I can't complaint even if yes, I am tired of work after 4:30pm. It's the closest to my dream job considering that without my call center experience in an insurance company and the support of a cool manager who always trusted me and offered me training sessions with specialists to eventually get out of the call center and become a full time analyst, I would never be doing this.
@@sierra9713 Most of my colleagues are working longer hours than me. I usually prefer to find a way to optimize my efficiency and get the most important things done as quickly as possible. Everything that can wait tomorrow morning will wait. I always have tons of unanswered emails and tasks to do after 4:30 PM. If I didn't manage my workflow in the most efficient way as possible, I would always do overtime. I'm also very clear with my manager about what's on my plate and what my capacities are. She understands that I want to have a good work-life balance and I'm critical of the North American work culture. As long as my workflow is managed in the most efficient way as possible, she's okay with me not doing overtime and following at 37.5 hours work week.
The illustrations are so well done bro! What was your initial career path - did you come from a finance or accounting background and have your CFA or CPA?
I'm currently looking into getting into the Financial Analyst Field. It has always been a dream of mine to work for Tesla. I have always found everything numbers related easy to come to me, which is what has brought me here. Just wondering if you have any recommendations on where to start on a career with Tesla.
I’m about to work as a FPA for a car company next month and I’m very stressed because it seems challenging to me (also it’s one of the top car companies) Finding this video is very helpful. Hopefully I can survive. 🤞😢
@@thomassangz9194 it’s OK I think. A lot of data to work with. Lots of meetings and reports. I think the most difficult part is analyzing since we don’t really have many tasks. It’s like less doing, more thinking. Thanks for checking in :)
Besides the awesome details and explanations of the routines, I was just impressed by the video skills and effort. I need to start with learning how to make videos like that! What tools/software you used for this?
Great video! How do you tackle one off high ticket expenditures? So for example if one property had to do a one time refurbish due to hail damage? Now you have one month that is much higher than the rest ... how do you deal with that variance?
Hello, great video! Quick question, I graduate fall this year with my undergrad in accounting and finance. For this role are you generally required at least 3 years of analyst work to be considered?
I know this was a while ago, but I'm looking at becoming a Financial analyst and had a few qs: - Was your work/life balance better than what's show in this video? - Would you constantly be working at a pace that felt suffocating? - Were you able to work 9-5 hours or less sometimes? - Would appreciate any insight you can provide ! ty
Can you make a video about your Excel files? Would like to see what functions/features you use the most. Congrats on the video, very interesting for a Business Administration grad like me ^^
Hey there! I'm planning to pursue Mba in Finance in Canada, but I'm not 100% sure if I'll be able to do it. Could you please help me to make a wise, rational decision.
Very useful video thanks for inside! Btw do you know if people can land a Financial Analyst job by doing online certificates from Coursera and Udemy and maybe Google Certificates? Or a Master's Degree is a must to get a job in this role?
I will be forever grateful to you, you changed my entire life and I will continue to preach on your behalf for the whole world to hear you saved me from huge financial debt with just a small investment, thank you Claudia Jenkins.
Michael, do you feel like Financial analysts typically pertain to a specific personality type? Or do you feel like it varies between highly introverted and extroverted, etc?
I would like to know what you studied and how you pursued Financial Data Analysis. I’m in the process of choosing my career; I would like to be an accountant but also want to delve into data analysis. Thanksss for your video 🫶🏻
Hello, I enjoyed watching your video. I am a student, and as part of my project, I am organizing a seminar on Global Finance. I'm looking for someone who has experience in finance-related work. Would you be interested in being a guest speaker?
If Career Principles has million number of fans i am one of them . if Career Principles has ten fans i am one of them. if Career Principles have only one fan and that is me . if Career Principles has no fans, that means i am no more on the earth. if world against the Career Principles , i am against the world.
Good day sir, pls I want to know and also be mentored on becoming a financial analyst I appeal that you respond to my request sir. I anticipate your response sir. Thank you
@@WolfLegends err, this is tesla dude. base is min 180k in california $. Stocks have gone up a lot in last 3 years so maybe he started with a 100k a year equity grant but now that is worth at least 400k a year given the stock has 4X since. So 400+180 = 580k
I really enjoyed watching this. You told a story about your life, while simultaneously including your work schedule.
- Future analysts

I liked this video a lot. It definitely gave me better insight on wanting to be a financial analyst one day. Thank you
goodness i could never do what you did ! that’s crazy hard work
Nice video, keep them coming!
Will do Kenji! Thanks for the support.

Noted. More videos incoming!

Very nice and it has some data entry stuff included right? Looks like a nice schedule. Especially the work from home part.
A bit of data entry, but a lot more data sourcing from the company database and data cleaning. Cheers!
@@careerprinciplesthose are way too many hours 😂. You get 3 day weekend at least? at that rate you're making like min wage 😂
Awesome walkthrough. Most accounts don’t go this in depth so this was super informative.
Thank you so much for this video!!

Great stuff. Surprised by the spend approval function as part of your role.
Where could I find a video or resource on how to format a resume and what qualifications are best to get this kind of job?
Great video. Are you working with only Excel for data cleaning or using another programming languages such as python etc ?
love the content 🫡

did you need a cfa?
Confused the microwave was in uk we don't do food trucks...
I graduated with a information system degree and I have CFA level 1. What do I need to become a financial analyst?
nothing, this should get u through the door.try applying for analyst jobs
And learn more about excel
Hello, for financial analyst role we want to learn python, pandas, SQL, power bi??
I will be forever grateful to you, you changed my entire life and I will continue to preach on your behalf for the whole world to hear you saved me from huge financial debt with just a small investment, thank you Claudia Jenkins.
I'm surprised that you just mentioned Claudia Jenkins here. I met her at a conference in 2018 and we have been working together ever since.
The very first time we tried, we invested $1400 and after a week, we received $5230. That really helped us a lot to pay up our bills.
You trade with Claudia Jenkins too? Wow that woman has been a blessing to me and my family.
I'm new at this, please how can I reach her?
I was skeptical at first till I decided to try. Its huge returns is awesome. I can't say much
Do you get leave on Saturday Sunday... Do you work during weekends??
Michael, do you feel like Financial analysts typically pertain to a specific personality type? Or do you feel like it varies between highly introverted and extroverted, etc?
Can I still be a financial analyst if I don't want to work on finalizing financial statements, a task typically handled by Big 4 accountants?
Looks like you're in the UK, not the Bay Area?
House is tiny as bay area. Looks like a small uk house.
Ur headphones on the thumb nail is on backwards.
Very easy schedule. I love it!
Great video!
Cheers!
Im confused isn't Tesla in Austin now?

How to become financial analyst
He doesn’t work at Tesla at all, by compliance issue he would otherwise never talk anything about Honda
Looks UK or IRL.. kitchen is definitely British..
Homies ears are wild
You are working really long hours.
I'm sorry, did you meant to say day in the life of a wage slave in the Bay Area?
Looks booring
It is. It is the most boring job there is . I worked as an accountant, god I hate it. Switched to tech sales instead
Full day work 😐☠️
cmon dude, you work at Tesla and you are saving money on food ?? cmon stop being cheap
sounds really borings day to day
No one gonna talk about the fact the video says 'Bay Area' whilst he is subscequently walking around UK streets, lol
Not UK streets
