Why it’s worth going
Technology companies increasingly seek business school graduates for non-engineering roles including product management, technical sales, business development, and technology strategy positions that require both business acumen and technology fluency. The fintech sector, which combines finance and technology, is particularly active in Toronto and offers finance students opportunities to work on digital banking, payments, blockchain, and financial software at the intersection of their interests. Business students in technology roles often advance quickly because they bridge the gap between technical teams and commercial strategy, a valuable skill set that remains in high demand.
Going in prepared
Familiarize yourself with current technology trends relevant to business including artificial intelligence, cloud computing, data analytics, and cybersecurity, as recruiters will assess your genuine interest in technology beyond just seeking a job. Highlight any technical coursework, certifications, or projects that demonstrate your ability to work with technology teams, even if you’re not a programmer yourself. Be prepared to discuss how business and technology intersect in your areas of interest, whether that’s using data analytics for financial modeling, understanding how fintech is disrupting traditional banking, or applying technology to solve business problems.
