I am thrilled to write a blog post on launching a career in social finance. This was, after all, a space that I had been diligent about launching a career in back when I entered it in 2008 and is a topic that, hands down, I talk to more young people about than any other. So for a field like social finance that has expanded rather explosively over the past five years, why does it seem like young people are at a loss as to where to start and how to “get in”? To start with, the field of social finance is extremely ambiguous. The range of career paths, companies, models, geographies and impact sectors is large and as this sector has grown in popularity so have the number of companies, products and talent in the marketplace. Add the newness of the sector, jargon, metrics, certifications, degree programs, networks and associations on top of all of this and one can easily become overwhelmed, if not turned off of the space all together.
