Don’t confuse the career of finance with working in a hedge fund, as a trader or whatever. The term “finance” more commonly refers to a career in a firm on the financial side of operations. Often, junior finance folks are glorified spreadsheeters.

So, even though Wall Street and private equity is involved in finance, we don’t usually call them finance professionals.
