The SWE Early Career Professionals Affinity Group cordially invites you to our upcoming virtual event, “Financial Literacy 101” on Tuesday, January 13, 2025 at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT! Managing money can feel like a maze – investing, saving, credit, financial research, navigating money with a partner; there is so much to figure out that many people end up stuck, unsure of where to even begin. It does not have to be that way. This event is aimed to help you build clarity and confidence in your financial journey. We will break down the essentials in a simple, practical way: how to start investing even with limited resources, why compounding works in your favor, how to approach financial education without overwhelm, and how to stay aligned when managing money with a partner. We will also highlight helpful resources to support your continued learning. We encourage both students and professionals to attend!
