Kacper, Technology and Finance are closely connected. Financial Institutions, Banks, Insurance, Brokers etc... all rely on their data their technology systems provide them.

Hi Kacper,
There is actually a discipline called financial tech that may suit you! Its essentially using technology to improve financial activities like stock market trading, digital banking and financial literacy. This type of job is also available in a number of industries so someone well versed in finance and IT might do very well. There are also opportunities in IT audit, analytics/big data and even consulting. Either way having a solid background and interest in both IT and finance presents a number of opportunities.
Good luck!
