    I majored in math in college and recently landed a job as a financial analyst. Haven't started yet but I've been watching videos on finance to at least sort of know what to expect. Your video was helpful! But I keep seeing rather vague things like "they look at the past to predict the future", "they analyze a lot of data", "they make reports", etc. and am hoping that my job isn't super overwhelming haha. We shall see
    UPDATE: the job I’ve described is actually an “operations analyst” role, so I think it differs from a typical “financial analyst” job. You can probably disregard my whole comment if you’re actually looking for a financial analysis career lol.

Idk if you're interested in majoring in math but I think having a mathematics degree makes you more or less qualified for jobs with analysis/analyst in the title. I still haven't officially started my job, but the description says that I will be maintaining financial instruments such as bonds, loans, derivates, and equities, all within the internal system of the company. Other stuff includes like doing custody trade processing for clients, and keeping track of documents and portfolios among clients.

    • @ashlynereid7681
      @ashlynereid7681 Рік тому

      No - Analyst are mostly pulling data out of databases into excel and using excel to look for trends and patterns to see what went wrong or what went right in the current period (month, quarter & year) - we create dashboards in excel as well to help explain financial data to other people in the organization, typically related to the finances that you would analyze, so that they can understand how their unit is doing overall, good or bad. With this data you can make recommendations on which expenses to potential cut to save money or items they should purchase to be more efficient. It is more of a problem solving role than feeding numbers into a system (that is more on the accounting side). Hope that helps!

      Hey Dave - I think within the EU it's a little simpler. However with Brexit that may start making it a little more complicated for someone living in the UK. companies that have their business spread throughout the EU and UK will likely have a better chance of remote work from the UK since they may already have the technicalities of dealing with people in different locations figured out.
