As students, navigating the financial sector is impossible. There are dozens of different career paths that we don’t even know about. Moreover, finding information about these different sectors is next to impossible, unless you have concrete connections.

Welcome to MyFIntelligence, a networking platform dedicated to educating students about the financial industry and all the possible career paths in it! We have sat down with over 50 interns, analysts, and executives to learn about their careers in investment banking, sales and trading, asset management, portfolio management, wealth management, risk management, commercial banking, and much more!

In these virtual coffee chats, we deep dive into the ins and outs of the industry. We ask our participants about their company specific experiences with landing the job all the way to the job itself.
