Jumping into a financial analyst role can be like drinking from a fire hose at first. There’s a lot of new information to absorb, from financial modeling techniques to industry jargon. The learning curve can be steep, but it’s exciting! You’ll be working alongside experienced analysts who can mentor you and guide you through the process. Be prepared to ask questions, be detail-oriented, and constantly seek opportunities to learn. The early days are about building a strong foundation, and the skills you gain will be invaluable as you progress in your corporate finance career.
How Much Does a Financial Analyst Earn?
Starting salaries for a recent graduate joining a company as a financial analyst are currently $50,000-$70,000 per year. In some hyper competitive industries or cities this does increase. We recommend you evaluate job opportunities in this early stage of your career on the potential for personal growth rather than salary alone as roles vary considerably in terms of how impactful they can be on your future career.
