If you have broad finance-based skills, but aren’t sure how to apply them to a career then consider one or even all of the following five career routes.
Modern education has come a long way. For the most part, gone are the days in which a role or industry required a particular education or qualification. Micro-credentials, online courses, part-time courses and even self-taught skills are now being viewed by many organisations and institutions as legitimate forms of upskilling, worthy of getting at the very least an opportunity to interview for a role.
But when you have a wide range of skills and have participated in a non-traditional form of pre-career education, it can be difficult to know which career avenues your skillset is suited to. With that in mind, SiliconRepublic.com has curated a list of five of the finance and financial infrastructure ecosystem’s most interesting career routes, for professionals and jobseekers alike.
Risk management and compliance
Perhaps unsurprisingly, jobs in risk management and compliance, requiring finance skills, are becoming increasingly necessary, in a landscape that is undergoing significant global turmoil. Typically a degree or specialist qualification is required and the role involves managing exposure to risk, analysing likely risks and devising and implementing strategies to minimise or avoid them. The compliance aspect would involve ensuring that an organisation, institution or client is compliant with local, national and international frameworks and regulations.
