I come from a non-finance background but have developed a strong interest in the finance sector. I'm curious to know which entry-level roles (such as financial analyst, credit analyst, or operations) are suitable for beginners without a finance degree. What skills or certifications (like CFA, Excel, or financial modeling) can help me stand out? I’d appreciate advice from those who’ve made a similar transition or work in the industry.
