What do you think will be better in future?

grand bone

#

if u go to a good uni

#

theres a lot of opportunity still

#

and for finance cs is still good

#

Finance is similar as well depending on which one

the supply is not matching the demand

#

and they are constantly shrinking

grand bone
#

stuff like machine learning is becoming more and more valued

#

the only ppl who struggle finding jobs

#

are ppl that do js pure cs at a mid or bad uni

#

with no portfolio

hybrid cave
#

ur competing with alot of people and tbh cs isnt that high paying with finance there is always opening ur own firm becoming an investment banker

grand bone
#

"becoming an investment banker and opening your own firm" isn't as simple as u make it sound

#

the issue is that companies want people with more skills than just pure cs

#

which is why "maths with computer science" or "electrical engineering with computer science" graduates are becoming more sought after

#

the issue isn't cs jobs not being there its that other professions have the same skills + more

#

which is why portfolio matter so much if u do pure cs

#

or tbh if u js go to a top uni you'll have no issues

hybrid cave
#

u gotta struggle to be somewhere and finance worst case scenario is u become a teacher analyst

grand bone
#

firms legit have target unis they hire from

#

and autoreject shit ones

hybrid cave
#

getting into finance it really depends on which subfield

grand bone
#

in cs at least a portfolio can save you

grand bone
#

other than like accounting

#

but nobodys rlly discussing accounting when they say finance

#

Investment banking, quant, private equity, asset management. if u dont have connections or go to a top uni your cooked

hybrid cave
#

depends on ur grades and experience

grand bone
#

like u get autorejected

#

at the cv stage

hybrid cave
#

whats cv

grand bone
hybrid cave
#

what the hell is a cv

grand bone
#

a resume

hybrid cave
#

just call it a resume

#

we are not in india

hybrid cave
#

but high finance uni is better than a high cs uni

grand bone
grand bone
#

wait till u realise that finance firms hire cs maths and engineering majors all the time

hybrid cave
#

never heard a cs major in a finance firm

grand bone
#

u must not hear a lot of things thensobpraying

hybrid cave
#

i have heard all except cs

grand bone
#

finance firms legit have software engineering divisions

#

cs is great for quant asw

hybrid cave
#

finance firms also have a cleaning department get a phd in janitoral sciences

grand bone
#

its also great for stuff like venture capital asw btw

#

yea its not good for investment banking

#

but its great for loads of other stuff in finance

#

cs is a way more versatile degree than finance

#

espescially if u do something like maths with cs

#

rather than pure cs

hybrid cave
#

getting into a good cs uni is like finding a blue egg

grand bone
hybrid cave
#

why do u want to get into lse

#

u need a decent uni not the best in the world

grand bone
grand bone
grand bone
#

so top finance is harder than top cs

hybrid cave
#

broski penn uni columbia uni ENOUGH

grand bone
hybrid cave
#

but i think he should take a subject which is ez

hybrid cave
#

tbh best in finance is acca u can skip a leveels

grand bone
#

which isn't that great

grand bone
hybrid cave
grand bone
hybrid cave
#

u earn like 6 figures with acca while software engineers earn around 130k

grand bone
hybrid cave
#

who is giving u these figures

grand bone
hybrid cave
#

that is IF you get into a top firm with experience

#

and still its around 250k these figures arent accurate

grand bone
#

and in accounting u only earn 6 figures if u get to management or executive level

hybrid cave
#

hell no a 3 year earns 100k+

#

nd works part time

#

but finance major degrees can pay better but more effort

#

8 years studying vs 3

grand bone
#

cause it isnt true

#

a 3rd year accountant doesnt earn 100k+

hybrid cave
#

its common in miami ny

#

in big 4 its more than 120k

grand bone
hybrid cave
#

i aint got salary receipts

grand bone
#

regardless thats still less than cs lol

hybrid cave
#

software enginerring takes 10years with a levels and acca takes 3

grand bone
hybrid cave
#

2 year a levels 4 year bachelor atleast 4 for engineering

grand bone
#

grand bone
hybrid cave

grand bone
#

even med isnt 10 years

#

hybrid cave
#

med is 11

grand bone

#

If u wanna do finance, accounting is very jmportant.
Otherwose take cs

grand bone
#

its one of the least popular a levels for a reason

#

ecom maths fm is better

hybrid cave
#

further maths ONLY IF UR GOOD

grand bone
#

but both cs and finance contain math so i hope he is good at it

obtuse vigil
#

Math is to be taken regardless

#

Its important for both finance/eco ans science

grand bone
#

then economics

#

further maths

#

physics

#

history

#

and even politics

#

are preffered

#

accounting isn't

#

its seen as a soft subject

#

popularity doesn't define it

#

its js unpopular cause it isn't a facilitating subject
