I wasn't sure what I wanted to do and got really lucky and landed a rotational program. 3 years, 3 different jobs in finance and risk. I've done it all since. Credit risk, financial operations, corporate fp&a, Treasury operations. I found i like operations stuff best. It's the most tangible and you're closer to the business - the people actually doing the work. It's basically helping non-finance people like engineers and supply chain management their departmental budgets. You never really get near the soul-less finance stuff either, worst you'll do is lead cost-optimization initiatives where you push people to trim 5% of their budget here or the there, but it's never costing people their jobs.
Im also at a company with massive union presence so our culture is about as good as you can get from a big company. not sure if you're comfortable sharing your state but you can message me and if it's a state my company is in I can help get you a job
What entry level job did you go with when you graduated? I'm getting close to done and am getting anxious about career stuff.
