What Ideas Can I Do For Someone In Finance?

Hello! I am a recent college graduate and landed my dream job in finance. I’ve always dreamed of doing my current job while building a business on the side, however, many of my ideas which I know I would be great at and passionate about I cannot do.

I am amazing at managing money and providing financial advice, however I am not allowed to do that for others due to the nature of my job. I would like to start my own asset management firm as some point, however I do desire to work a 9-5 for the time being.

I have various fintech ideas but I am less passionate about them. I don’t know coding as well as investing. On the side I have started to purchase real estate, however, I still want to do more.

For those who have been in a similar situation, what did you end up doing? I want to work my job for quite a while and eventually work for myself. I don’t just want to become an investor, I still want to work on and build something in addition to my investments.

My current ideas:

- Learn how to code for my fintech ideas

- Start a consulting business for other skills I have (would not conflict with my job and I am confident in my skillset)

- Start a newsletter and try to build an online audience (extremely overdone and boring, imo)

- Continue learning finance first before trying to start anything

- Try to build an art business as I love to draw and paint

- Build something not related to my current projects and learn something new

Anyone been in this situation? Thanks!
