MY STORY
Choosing a career can be overwhelming, especially when you don't know what different jobs are actually like. Most students don't - I can relate. I started FinArchives after participating in NYU's College and Career Lab, where I had the opportunity to learn from professionals and explore careers I knew very little about. Those conversations helped me better understand the many professional paths available and the vast number of careers, and I wanted to make that same experience available to other students, especially students considering careers in finance.
FinArchives brings together interviews with professionals across the finance industry so students can learn from their experiences, understand what different roles involve, and hear the advice that professionals wish they had when they were in high school or college. My hope is that this project helps students feel more informed, more confident, and a little - hopefully more than a little - less uncertain about where they want to go next.
