Kacper, Technology and Finance are closely connected. Financial Institutions, Banks, Insurance, Brokers etc... all rely on their data their technology systems provide them. In the future the reliance will become even greater as Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning will help financial services companies provide better customer service, understand how best to invest money and reduce overall risk to the US and Global markets. In this link it is an article about how JP Morgan is investing $11 Billion every year with 50,000 technologist to get better outcomes for their customer and business!!! https://www.jpmorganchase.com/news-stories/tech-investment-could-disrupt-banking. There are lots of start ups in the Fintech space that are providing innovated solutions to companies and customers. Some of these like Strip are valued at $95 Billion dollars.

Sharhonda’s Answer

Hi Kacper,

There is actually a discipline called financial tech that may suit you! Its essentially using technology to improve financial activities like stock market trading, digital banking and financial literacy. This type of job is also available in a number of industries so someone well versed in finance and IT might do very well. There are also opportunities in IT audit, analytics/big data and even consulting. Either way having a solid background and interest in both IT and finance presents a number of opportunities.

Good luck!
