It is my final year in NTU as an EEE undergraduate and wants to work in banking and finance field. Particularly towards the financial market! How do I find a job?

I am passionate about trading and investing. I have attended an investment workshop to cut short my learning curve and spends some of my free time reading more about the markets.

However, I do not plan to start working in the engineering industry after I graduate. How do I ensure that I get a job related to the markets? They say b&f industries like to hire EEE grads in NTU but I just don’t see how and why?

Any career advices would be kindly appreciated!

Hey, it's true tho! I have friends from engineering who had a) personal experience investing in the stock market b) know a programming language (usually python) whose first job after grad were in banking. It's all about selling your interest and showing your knowledge, along with what value-added skill you have (e.g. able to use python to automate stock analysis/comparisons) :)

From my limited knowledge, seems like a stretch to find a cross over between EEE and Financial market but do ask around and give it a go, I'm sure you alredy have an area where you're particularly interested in. Even if you don't find any, you can always create a blue ocean with a new idea or patent. Let me know if you do!

Also, don't box yourself into the traditional way of thking about engineering. Engineering in itself is a practice of solving problems - you may be more specialized in E&E, Mechanical or Civil, but that problem solving skill can be applied to all parts of your life. If there's something that you think can be improved and you can learn how to do it then take that opportunity!​​​
