Finance Engineer job outlook: Expert opinions
Our panel of finance engineer experts
Fairleigh Dickinson University
Will there be an enduring impact of the coronavirus pandemic on Finance Engineers?
Patrick Cozza: Certain sectors of the US economy will continue to struggle returning to pre COVID levels of productivity, namely the service industries of hotels, transportation, restaurants, etc. So those graduates looking for careers in those industries may have difficulties. Fairleigh Dickinson's Hotel School is one of the top ten in the country, so that should help students in terms of prominence. Students should also not take for granted Zooming that exists today; I fully expect businesses to continue to utilize this technology post COVID so they should understand the protocols of professionalism when Zooming. Students may be more inclined to consider jobs which allow for a flexible work schedule, permitting them to work from home as they have gotten used to that environment. This would open up opportunities beyond their geographic reach.
