Looking to begin a career in Financial or Business Analytics. I am an Economics major that graduated in Dec 2020. Since then I have been an Operations Analyst at a FinTech company. I also have some past experience as an analyst at a small business lending company in college. I have been applying for jobs for the past ~6 months. I have made it to the final round of a few interviews, but have not received any offers. Does anyone have any advice for me? I would greatly appreciate any insight.

My first step would be having a professional resume writer optimize your resume. There are various services online, or you can hire a freelancer on Upwork. Also, whenever possible, ask the interviewer for feedback. That can shed light on what you need to work on for future opportunities. Best of luck to you - you'll get it one of these days!

Where do you live ? Are you located in the NYC area ?

I currently live on Long Island, but close enough that it would be a quick commute to NYC. I have been applying for jobs in NYC.

I think if that's happening a lot, it might be worth doing some kind of interview prep/coaching?
