Practical

Practical application

The Python programming language is an immense topic to cover. There are many things you can learn and even more ways you can apply Python which are not relevant to you as a finance professional. PyFi teaches you what you need to know to be effective in your work without needing to pursue a formal computer science degree.

Apply proven solutions to your work

Because Python is open source, you’re able to apply working libraries, or frameworks, to your work with simple commands. Imagine downloading sophisticated financial models you could simply plug your data into. That’s exactly what’s possible with the Python programming language and PyFi gets you started by plugging the NumPy and Pandas library directly into your financial analysis.

Zach_Headshot

Zach Washam

EX - Wells Fargo

While learning Python as an investment banker, Zach made an interesting observation: Python programming had a lot in common with the Excel models he made at work. By thinking of Python like Excel, Zach quickly learned the coding language and invented Wells Fargo Securities' first machine learning algorithm for investment banking and capital markets. 

After submitting two algorithms for patent protection and winning Wells Fargo's 2018 "Local Sphere Innovation Award," Zach left investment banking to launch PyFi.

Now, Zach’s courses have been delivered to thousands of finance students and professionals around the world.

How will learning Python help my finance career?

Firms are in the business of making profit, whether thats a bank, a fund, a corporation, etc. They hire you based on your ability to provide disproportionate value to them and their goals, a value that exceeds the cost of your salary. As technology changes, the level of demand of employee output continues to rise. In a pool of many talented candidates, having a competitive advantage that can make you more efficient and effective in your workflows and can make your predictive models more accurate means the value you are able to provide to your firm will be significantly greater than your contemporaries. Python is a competitive advantage in finance. In fact, more and more positions are preferring or requiring this skill to even be considered for the role in the first place.
