Finance is not hard + it's oversatured + you need connections to begin with and thus if you're a literal nobody = it's over.

You’re not going to be making money as a pension adviser at some local branch. The money is in the city at asset management firms, bulge bracket IB, boutiques, Quant ect. Most of it is pretty standard and easy so you don’t need a high IQ, except some heavy maths roles like Quants and traders. The issue is they still filter the best people so you need a degree from a good uni plus lots of experience or be forced to rely on nepo.

100 ng/dl of test is preferable for a career in finance.

Actuary is one of those careers where you actually need to be good at maths, so have an A in A-level maths at least, plus a degree in a maths subject. You’re using probabilities and stochastic calculus to calculate risk for insurance firms basically. You can become a local bank manager. They don’t do anything and they make £50k once in a managerial position. Takes time though.

Lots of the screening is based on IQ. Gotta be in the top percentiles or you will not even be considered.

No you don’t. Those Psychometric tests they make you do and interview scenarios are very easy to pass. If you can’t do them you are to the left of the bell-curve.

You can also make a stupid amount of money in some other sectors too. Everyone keeps aiming for IB & PE when there are lots of other, more feasible opportunities (business credit teams, private banking, corp fin, consulting, etc)

Private banking and elite consulting are still very hard to break into. I think credit teams, and corp finance is easier but less pay. So is insurance.

Finance is very broad, a lot of financial roles aren't complex jobs whatsoever that require high intelligence.
