Financial analyst is very broad title. 3 major routes would be accounting, fp&a, investments. These are 3 different fields and my advice is to pick 1 and then gain experience/certification/skills in it. You will notice how one company wants you to do GL recon as a financial analyst while other want you to do market research for an index as a financial analyst. Then always watch carefully at the duties listed to make sure you and employer are on the same page with what financial analyst do in their firm. You can not beleive how many times they actually want an accountant instead of financial analyst.

Hi, would you recommend me to stay at accounting (undergraduate)? since I was thinking about changing into finance next year

[@bradangelo9537]

I worked at Amazon as business analyst, it's a great place to work if you are ready to hustle and put in the hours. Everyone I worked with was super bright and driven and the scope and scale of the things you'll work on is massive. The work life balance (as reported a ton in the media) is not very good and I wouldn't recommend it as a place to work if you have a lot of obligations at home or outside of your job.

Hi! What do you think about life/work balance??? I just got a job in a big four in audit, but I really hate the hours worked vs money made and the lack of personal life. Can I get a CFA in order to get a more balanced kind of job???

[@365FinancialAnalyst]

Hello, This is definitely one of the most discussed topics in Big 4 companies. I myself have worked for Pwc (in their financial advisory unit), and can relate. The hours are long and the pay is lower, which isn't a good combination. However, in the first few years Big 4 companies are a great school and can be really great for you to learn finance and accounting. Having said that, CFA is definitely a great way to impress employers, but it takes a long time to complete and will worsen your work-life balance in the meantime. My suggestion is to fix your resume and start applying as soon as you feel like you are ready for the next job (may be after 18 or 24 months). And also, consider taking CFA level 1 to show employers you are capable.

A financial analyst has many different definitions. If you get hired to the M&A division of an investment bank, you start off as an Analyst (then Associate, VP, Director, Managing Director usually), but a financial analyst in the research division of the same investment bank can be a very senior guy. And this is even within the same company, not even mentioning other sectors! I understand if it can be confusing, which is also why this KZbin video didn’t make much sense without proper definitions.
