Question : change career from Software Engineering to Banking and financial management – advise please.?
Hi,
I have been working as a senior software engineer for around 3 yrs, I have a bachelors & a masters degree in Software Engineering. However, i am planning to switch my career to financial management or banking. Can someone please advise me what i should, like any courses or certification that will help.
I do understand that the switching will take time and i am determined even if it takes a couple of years. I was also thinking about doing an MBA in finance but it is very very expensive which is why i thought may be a certification will help but i dont know what to do.
Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks.

If you want my opinion, stay where you are. The reason I say this is the financial world has a lot of weeding out to do. This is really going to take a toll on a lot of people and companies in this world. If you want to get into the financial world, do it from your computer you did this question on and do some day trading. You wont be going into financial debt learning about it, you wont have your company closing its door on you when you get to work one day, you wont have clients coming to you crying cause you just melted their entire life’s savings and they will be on mac and cheese from their normal fi-lee minion. Really, and if you just have to do this, just go to a couple of companies like Marel linch or alike, they will give you study materials and if you pass the grewling test for the 6-63 or series 7 test, and survive, they might even pay for the test for you also.
