As a seasoned individual in his industry, Scott Tominaga, founder of PartnersAdmin, is often asked questions about the realities in his field of expertise. Today, he shares some very useful insights on what you need to be aware of about working in finance. One of the most curious things about working in finance is how people from the outside can form their own expectations of you and what you are capable of. Finance people are often viewed as experts who know everything and anything there is to know about finance. It hardly matters what position you are in, whether you are a bank teller, a hedge fund manager, or even a technical specialist. Scott Tominaga himself likens this to asking an eye doctor about a bunion.
However, people from the outside looking in are not to be totally blamed for this incorrect way of thinking. The truth is, many individuals in the finance industry act like geniuses, even if they are but recent entrants to the game. Many young people are guilty of making this mistake. While it’s true that after several months in the industry, a person can be more knowledgeable about finance when compared to his peers or family members, they can’t claim to perfectly know what the stock market is going to do next. To be successful in finance, you need to be exposed to so many things, and yet the truly competent individuals are those who have immersed themselves deeply in one aspect. An excellent way to go about it is to treat your career as a lifelong learning process, becoming more worthwhile with a healthy amount of humility.
