Financial Analyst is a fairly broad job title. What kind of work do you want to do? There are financial analysts in corporate finance, commercial banking, investment banking, asset management, insurance, consulting, private equity, etc. The ways to break into those industries can be quite a bit different.

>>1814917
Not OP but what do they do in general? Does it have to do with stock analysis?

>>1814917

Whats it like?
Is the money worth the long hours?
How much office bullshit so you have to put up with?
Do you work in an office or a cubicle?
Do you get bonuses, and if so, what are they based on?

I can't say who I work for but it's not long hours every single day, but when it is I love my work so I don't mind. Everyone is really smart here so not a lot of bs. I have my own office. This is my first year here so I haven't had a yearly bonus yet but some guys that have been here only 2-3 years are getting checks for $1m+

math undergrad at top5 school, heavily recruited by wall street

I'm applying to internships at firms like 3red/jane street this summer and probably bulge bracket banks the next, any advice?

>>1815952

you're doing everything right

>>1815952
does Wall St recruit engineering undergrads?

>>1816007
from my school they do. We have a "Financial Engineering" major that exists solely to land people analyst jobs. Most recruiters here and jobs posted on our proprietary Handshake portal ask for math, physics, chem, statistics, economics, or engineering majors

If I major in math or stats, what should I do for a masters or PhD?

>>1815665
How did you achieve that position? If you're not lying. I'm thinking about getting into accounting although it seems really boring compared to finance, but the job market is easier.

>>1816017
not accounting or finance?

>>1814808
