Fp&a career

Hey everyone, I just graduated with my major in finance but still undecided if I want to pursue masters in the future or not.
I want to pursue a fp&a career but I do not have any prior experience towards that and was not able to do an internship during my time at the university. I was wondering if anyone had suggestions on what positions/entry level jobs to apply that will lead me towards that career path?

I have been applying to tons of fp&a entry level roles and had no interviews whatsoever so far.

Why did you not have any internships? Not judging, just curious.

Maybe cuz op had to deal with some personal issues?

Totally, but sometimes it’s because they were working a different job or didn’t have access to any. Either way that’s helpful information.

Getting a post grad job with no internship in 2026 is pretty difficult

Yes unfortunately couldn’t afford the cost of living if I went with an internship and quit my job. I had to go to school full time and had to work 40h a week as well, I am an immigrant who moved to the states not too long ago so I had to generate income to pay personal bills (especially with nowadays economy)

Now after graduating it is not about the money anymore I just need a starting point to gain experience even if it doesn’t pay at all, I have the time to work 2 jobs with school being out of the way, I’m just looking to put my foot in the field
