I majored in financial technology, and I have been answering questions all my life. According to my learning experience, the major of financial science and technology is a new interdisciplinary subject, and it needs to master various knowledge systems to read, so it is busy and tired on the whole. However, with the development of the new era and the support of the state, the development prospects and employment situation of financial science and technology are very good, and it is one of the best among many majors! Next, I will give you a detailed introduction in three parts.

Introduction of professional content

To say which business major can best reflect the market demand at present, financial technology will definitely have a place. Financial technology combines big data analysis and artificial intelligence technology with finance, blockchain and virtual currency to help students cope with the ever-changing financial industry.

The main training courses are divided into financial theory and computer programming technology, including: introduction to financial technology, finance, investment, internet financial risk management, internet financial operation management, financial big data, new consumer finance model and practice, data warehouse and data mining, visual data processing technology, data science foundation and Python language.

Introduction to employment situation

Banks: Industrial and Commercial Bank of China is the leader of state-owned banks, and China Merchants Bank is a joint-stock company, but the forefront of banks is the Internet bank under Ali Tencent: online merchant bank and Weizhong bank have the widest application of financial technology (regardless of whether gold is financial or not, the technology is excellent). The brightest jobs in the bank are financial risk control model, customer group machine/deep learning identification, and fund wealth management product recommendation algorithm;

Non-bank: head companies such as securities, funds, public offering and private placement, China Securities and southern fund. The purest and most advanced application of financial technology is quantitative investment.

Non-market-oriented institutions: the central bank, which mainly promotes digital currency (blockchain currency); Banking supervision, mainly promoting intelligent supervision (AI algorithm); Policy banks (unknown, it seems that they have never engaged in financial technology).

Internet giants: Ant Financial, JD Finance, etc.

Share experiences and suggestions

Financial technology is a very hard-core specialty, which requires not only mastering the knowledge system of traditional business, but also learning new computer-related technologies. Therefore, before choosing this major, everyone must be mentally prepared and ready to fly. In addition, if you want to engage in related occupations, while learning school courses well, you should make more use of your vacation time to find some internships and enrich your practical experience, which is a key to successful job hunting.

Generally speaking, behind the glamorous financial technology, more efforts are needed than many majors!
