Ranking Finance Careers (Tier List)

What about Quant finance

Very very generic. Not worth listening just a general opinion

The depth of this piece is remarkable. I read a book with similar material that inspired a fundamental life change. "Game Theory and the Pursuit of Algorithmic Fairness" by Jack Frostwell

What do u think about Risk management and Treasury position in Banking ?

What are your thoughts on commercial/ corporate banking?

There is no real ranking. Do the job you like and what interests you to suceed

PE in B is a joke

How does one get out of retail banking if all the exit opportunities to commercial banking or higher only want recent grads or masters students only

Where would Credit Risk go?

Reinsurance???

Commercial banking should be in this list. That's what I've found a lot of disillusioned charter holders end up doing. Probably C tier.

Im a 42 y.o. professional project manager, bachelors of science in business administration and I want to pivot my career to a specialization in finance. This content is very helpful to plan my journey. Thankyou 😊

bad video... he's mixing and matching roles and sub-industries.

Is earning a masters degree comparable to the CFA? You keep saying masters but most of your channel is about the CFA. Maybe you could do a video comparing the two

Commercial Banking ?

What would you rank Financial Analyst?

Sales definitely S tier job.
- A Sales role from a Big Tech

Hi I work in Retail Banking with 3 years experience and its really not that bad... I make 140k a year plus bonus. I rarely get angry customer, its really how you communicate with people that will prevent that. Im a candidate for cfa1 so Im just looking into growing in the finance industry.

a financial risk analyst (in banking), which category is it? investment right?

Does external audit at big 4 fall in compliance ?

What’s the best one to transition if I’m a CPA?

I got a finance degree and my securities licenses but never made the jump into working in finance.

bugging so hard putting PE at B tier

what would a cfp fall under ?

I'm in compliance. It's a solid D.

Did you grab this chart from the Benjamin channel?

Not sure why you didn't mention Commercial credit. It's related to fixed income, but quite a bit different. The hours are very good and the pay is decent. Really underrated job.

Private equity gets paid more than HF and works less. It's a different skill set, but no one wants to go from PE > HF. if anything it's the other way around. HF much easier (relatively) to break into than big long only because this dynamic. HF and PE should definitely be swapped

Damn where are the commercial real estate guys? There’s such a variety of finance roles in real estate like Brokerage, AM, and Real Estate Private Equity!

Totally agree about IBD, worst days in my career by far

Video was really helpful. I work in compliance and i HATE it. I need an alternative role in Finance.

Ngl bro ive worked at the tesla factory on the production line and it felt more like slavery

ex Big 4 consulting, presently a software engineer at a FAANG company.
GMAT score 760 (2 weeks back).
I will spend some time learning about corporate finance
As of now, I don't really have a clue but it's common knowledge that this industry pays well.

How do I land a job in analysis?

Where’s CPA!? Lol

No VC?

Why do you rate asset management higher than wealth management? Seems like WM is the more diverse version of doing the same thing.

question. How come I keep seeing finance industry videos, but no one mentions insurance? I have a lot of connection within that industry, and they all say it is very lucrative, good pay & work life balance.

amazing video! but how about risk management?

I am not in finance but this video was informative, thanks! I like that there aren't any S-tier jobs.

Nice vid! I just wish you hadn't lumped all the investment banking jobs together

I agree that we do NOT have to love what we do. It is work. Period. Nothing magical about. But yes, your list is well shared and summed up. Thanks!

I’m a MBA graduate (Finance), currently playing professional basketball in Europe. The last bit at the end about not loving anything you have to do everyday felt like you were talking to me personally. Thanks for the video, I don’t have any traditional work experience in the field and this video has helped me a lot.

Honestly, Retail Banking was the absolute worst finance role I have done, literally just getting yelled at all day lol, especially with lending where you have to turn people away for loans/mortgages, etc :(. So glad to be a CFP and working in wealth management now. I love it, it's so rewarding (excluding the last 10 months lol, but it's still rewarding to give guidance during hard times)

Great info!

Hi, I'm currently working at Comptroller and Auditor General of India as audit officer which audits all receipt and expenditure of the Govt. of India. What is carrier prospect for me if i done CFA. my age is 28, please guide me is it wise to go for CFA. If yes, what are future carrier prospect.

Thank you for this video! Very informative.

I think it depends how to rate those different jobs into these categories. For Warren Buffett (and alike) this is (part of) his life (not only a job) so it is probably an S tier category! 😍

consulting has a good work life balance? i thought they work 60 hrs a week on average

God bless you for this 🙏🏼
