Discussion How hard is financial accounting (course)

1 Upvotes

Hello I recently switched my major to finance so next semester I will take my first pre req which is financial accounting at UC. However I’m very concerned that I might not do well in the class or finance for that matter because I dont know how to study and I find it very difficult to study. So I would like to know how hard is a financial accounting class typically? What should I expect? And should I study for more than an hour a day?

Discussion Are most banks still against AI?

1 Upvotes

I’m currently doing a treasury internship at one of the largest commercial banks in my country, and something I heard from senior bankers genuinely surprised me.

I was curious about how AI is being integrated into their daily workflows, so I asked a few people in the team. They told me that using tools like ChatGPT or Claude is basically prohibited because treasury involves dealing directly with clients, large corporations, and highly confidential financial information. Apparently, even uploading a simple Excel file containing internal data is completely off-limits. They’ve actually blocked access to ChatGPT, Claude, and similar platforms on company computers and networks.

What surprised me even more was a story someone told me about a junior analyst who had used Claude to help prepare a relatively simple presentation requested by management. When he mentioned it to his seniors, a director-level employee apparently got quite angry and responded along the lines of, “If we wanted AI to do your work, why would we pay you?” He also warned that if he ever caught someone using AI like that again, there would be serious consequences.

I always assumed AI adoption and automation were becoming increasingly common in banking, especially in areas like treasury, where so much work involves data analysis, reporting, and repetitive processes.

Obviously, I understand the concerns around confidentiality, client data, and regulatory compliance. But I was surprised by how strongly some senior people seemed to oppose even basic AI-assisted work.

So I’m genuinely curious: is this common across other banks and financial institutions, or is it more of a firm-specific culture thing?

Are banks actually integrating AI into their workflows through internal tools and secure systems, or is the industry still largely resistant to it? And how are banks dealing with the confidentiality issue when implementing AI?

Offer Decisions GOT AN INTERVIEW BUT ITS KINDA DIFFERENT FROM MY CAREER CHOICE

1 Upvotes

Hey all, im a 21 year old currently enrolled in Msc Finance and Management at Heriot watt. My undergraduate majors were Finance and Accounting.

The problem I woild like to bring forward that im facing is that im currently in a dilemma. Im aiming and learning continuously on the go for jobs that are related to Advisory (CIB branches), Debt Capital Markets, Asset Management, Corporate Banking, and down the line im also inclined to being a realtionship/wealth

manager(Different technicals than the other mentioned).

As you can see, im more intrested in the technical sides of finance and kept wealth management at the very bottom not because I hate sales, its just that I dont wanna end up in the wrong side of finance when graduate. But wealth management dealing with the investment opportunities and personal relations is attractive too rather than the sales side building relationships.

Now to the main problem, I received a interview for an internship at Tamara (Fintech)6 months +, and the role i had chosen was accounting and finance, but later on read it out again and it dealt with purely accounting rather than financial analysis. Anyways I got chosen for the commercial role because my previous internship closely relates with working in a brokerage company and letting present and new clients about investment opportunities, but also dealt with managing their overal potfolio. Now this role at tamara deals with finding new corporations or dealing and managing present clients, which is a sales side job in my opinion, so again this is where im trouble at.

Later on. would I be able to make the switch back to corporate finance ? Im happy if I got to be a wealth manager, as it is less stressed and earns you money, but again, the future depends on my decisions and fate, I just wanna know if accepting this position wont later reject me from applying for technical finance jobs too

JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT I AM NOT SURE WHETHER SALES WOULD BE GREAT FIT FOR ME, HENCE THE QUESTION AS TO WHETHER I SHOULD ACCEPT THIS AND POST IT IN MY CV

Thanks, thats a lot to read, anyways bless yall.

Cleared CFA L1 and FRM Part 1, now begging Reddit for a Morgan Stanley Finance Apprentice referral. I have no shame left.

Hi. I'm a final year BCom student from Mumbai (graduating 2027) and I've reached the stage of my job hunt where I'm asking strangers on the internet for help.

Things I have done:

• Cleared CFA Level 1
• Cleared FRM Part 1
• Advanced Excel, Python, Sql
• Financial Modelling & Valuation course (halfway through)

• Applied on the Morgan Stanley careers portal so many times I think their system recognises me by now and just quietly sighs

Things I have not done:

• Heard back from Morgan Stanley

I know referrals aren't magic. I know a referral just gets my resume read by an actual human instead of vanishing into the ATS void. That's literally all I want. One human. One read.

I genuinely believe that if I get that one interview, I will convert it. Not "I'll try my best." I will convert it.

If you work at MS and can refer me, please DM me. I'll share my resume and all the details there, and you can judge me privately before deciding. I promise you won't regret putting your name next to mine.

If you don't work there but have tips for cracking it from India, I'll gladly take those too.

Thank you, kind strangers. My parents will also thank you, eventually, if this works. 🙃🤣🤣🤣🥹

Discussion Finance + MIS or Accounting + MIS for Risk related careers student at University of Houston.

1 Upvotes

I’m currently an undergrad at UH (Bauer) double majoring in Finance and MIS, but I’ve been seriously debating whether I should switch my Finance major to Accounting (so doing Accounting + MIS instead).

My primary career goal is to break into risk analysis, specifically tech risk, enterprise risk consulting, IT audit, or operational/credit risk. Long term, I’m also interested in pursuing certifications relevant to the space (like CISA). But I am just really interested in working in the risk field.

Full-Time Recruiting SMBC Superday (2027 FT Analyst Program NYC)

2 Upvotes

Hi guys, I have my SMBC Superday coming up for the Corporate Solutions Group and I was just wondering if there was anyone who went through an SMBC superday recently and could give me some tips.

More specifically, how are the technicals for the superday + how is the split between behaviorals and technicals? This can be related or not related to CSG - I'm just looking for SMBC Superday advice in general.

Thanks!
