How important is coding ability for fintech careers, and should I learn programming alongside this certificate?
While coding skills are valuable, they’re not mandatory for all fintech roles. Product managers, business analysts, compliance officers, and sales professionals can thrive without programming. However, basic coding literacy (understanding concepts like APIs, databases, and development processes) significantly enhances your effectiveness and communication with technical teams. Consider learning SQL for data analysis and basic Python for automation-these skills are highly practical in fintech environments.
