Hi Abi,
Finance can be a very competitive field with a lot of routine tasks.
It depends of course on the specific position, but there may be long working hours and high stress too.
You may be responsible for financial outcomes that are influenced by factors beyond your control, like market condition.
Some Finance roles may not offer as much room for creative expression as other fields.
Remember, these downsides don't apply equally to all finance careers, and many people find finance to be a fulfilling and rewarding field despite these challenges. It's important to research specific roles and companies to understand how these factors might apply to your potential career path.
