You degree matters a lot when you’ve just graduated, but the finance world is full of high-rank directors/partners/etc with completely random degrees (which often aren’t shown in their company website biographies). As time goes by, your work experiences and (especially) connections will definitely become the most relevant factor. That being said, a CFA and/or a post-graduate degree in a economics/finance related field are sure to help a lot, by serving as proof that you’re a finance person with a non-finance degree instead of a non-finance person who just wants into finance.
