What do I do with my free time? Anonymous 2016-05-23 08:56:02 Post No. [Report]

I'm a Junior finance major, pretty much don't know what the fuck I'm doing. Getting good grades and shit, I just feel like I don't have the practical knowledge to do anything.

So /biz/, I come to you to ask: what should I learn on my own before I graduate (or things that will put me one step ahead)? I'm mostly talking technical skills like programming of some sort, SQL, specific things with excel... I don't know, that's why I'm asking.

Also any certifications that could help, and advice on where to start. Like CFA, CPA, etc.

I'm just trying to be a little more productive with my free time and do shit that'll look nice on a CV, or actually help me in the future.

I'm going to be a junior finance major, just finished my sophomore year. Study for the CFA. It's fucking crucial that you pass this and get your Level 1 before you even try and get even into an entry-level job.

Excel, learn fucking excel. Intern. Work for free. Get to know people and make connections. That's all you can do. Talk to your professors too, get to know them, some of them are surprisingly well connected and can offer you advice if you're a good student, maybe even put your name out there. If you're GOING to be a junior, don't worry about CFA for a year, just focus on getting all As and sucking your professors dick (or frat brothers dick) for connections and recommendations. If you're entering your senior year, start studying for Level 1 CFA so you can pass it. Learn the fuck out of Excel and even Python/R while you're at it.

Learn to program in Excel VBA to automate financial modeling. You can do some really cool things with Efficient Frontiers, Option Strategy builders, etc. The process of writing the code will make you understand the process that much better
