Help choose my career path in finance
I have an offer for BSc Economics at Bristol and I’ve been doing research on different finance career paths following this. I am looking for some advice on where to go!
I currently am thinking about..
Commercial/corporate banking
Management Consulting
Macro Trading (maybe, find this SUPER interesting but really want to do a PHD but would do a masters if that would be enough)
Investment Banking (maybe.. the hours and work life balance seem horrible)
I am definetly open to others suggestions for careers and it is no way limited to this. Any help would be appreciated and would love to know everyone else’s plans.

Hey can i ask what predicted grades you applied with and in what A-levels?? As well as whether work experience is essential and crucial to do Econ at a Uni as prestige as Bristol? Congratulations by the way!!
I got A*A*A in Maths, Physics and Economics but know plenty of people who have gotten in with A*AA as well. Bristol says on their economics admissions page that "Applications are scored and ranked based on their academic record, according to their achieved or predicted results with the following weightings: GCSE 20% | A-Level 80%". Personal statement, work experience ect would only come in if there are making a call between the last few close applicants I'm pretty sure surprisingly.
