Austin has the whole "supply chain" of startups - from accelerators to large & mid-size technology companies. The network is close-knit but easy to access and people are very friendly here. Combine all of the aforementioned with the cost of living (albeit, it's increasing) and you have a great city to live in.
Highly recommend.
If you end up coming out here, please let me know and I'll buy you a coffee and am happy to introduce you to others/local events.
I am a HN luddite and have no idea how to PM you through this platform, but feel free to PM me if you know how :)
I am in Austin as well - if, in the future, you ever need any Operations/Finance help, don't hesitate to reach out :)
Best of luck!
I would suggest understanding what part of Finance is the most interesting to you. Are you interested in Technical Analysis (i.e focusing on characteristics of the market as opposed to characteristics of the company) or do you find Fundamental Analysis more interesting (i.e interested in the core business of a company and their published financials)?
If you are interested in Technical Analysis, I would suggest taking a few courses online to understand trading strategies. If Fundamental Analysis is more appealing, I would focus on taking courses in Accounting.
Once you have a foundation in investment strategies, try producing content on Quantopian.com - build a portfolio and search for positions at firms.
If you have a strong enough interest, a firm will pick you up.
happy to chat in more detail
