[Career review] “Front office finance (for skill-building & earning to give)” by Benjamin Todd

Front facing finance still offers some of the highest pay available, making it a potential option for earning to give, however, we don't recommend it unless you could develop very strong motivation to succeed. The work load can be brutal, and is often boring. It's highly competitive and has high drop out rates. Moreover, the skills and knowledge you develop seem less useful than alternatives such as (/research/top-careers/profiles/consulting/) and (/research/top-careers/profiles/tech-entrepreneurship/).
