Finance
A finance-focused undergraduate path toward corporate finance, markets, and financial services roles.
Where this leads
The confusion, addressed honestly
Finance majors absorb LinkedIn IB fantasy and then freeze when Excel tests appear. Campus reality: FP&A, credit, operations in NBFCs, and research internships are more common first steps than bulge-bracket. Build a model, a credit memo, or a markets note. CFA L1 can help signal; it does not replace a workbook you can defend. Pick a sub-lane and show numbers. Campus drives still reward clear ownership stories over buzzword lists.
