Can I mention my product or website in a post?
Not by default. The rules say promoting your own blog, website, or advertisements needs prior approval, so you would have to ask the moderators first and accept that they may say no.

Rules can change, so Rankhog keeps verification dates and the original public Reddit sources visible.
Rule summary
- Professionalism, Courtesy: We are a community of current or aspiring financial professionals. Be responsible when giving advice—don’t pretend or talk about things you don’t know. Act professionally and courteously with other members of the server. Follow Reddiquette, especially when it comes to respecting others’ identities and personal information—no doxxing.
- Low Quality Posts: Self posts, discussions, and any other content on the sub should be high quality. If you are seeking advice, you should ask intelligent and thoughtful questions that make best use of others' time. Utilize the search function prior to posting. You may have your post removed or you may be banned for egregious posts that are low-effort and/or easily searchable.
- No Job Posts: Absolutely no advertising of job posts on the sub. The Discord Server and other subreddits are specifically designed for this purpose.
- No Self-Promotion, Blogs, Spam, or Posting Copyrighted Material: No promoting/advertising your own blogs, websites, advertisements, or any posting of copyrighted material without prior approval. This includes using the sub to solicit or privately message other users.
- Highly Likely AI Generated Text: Your text is likely generated by AI. As such, we cannot tell if the text you posted contains your genuine human thoughts.
Works well
- A specific, well researched question about a finance career path, like asking experienced people how they weighed one role against another, written in your own words.
- A discussion post sharing your own genuine experience moving between roles or industries in finance, with concrete details and no links.
- A thoughtful reply thread where you answer questions only about things you actually know from your own work, which builds trust before you ever think about promoting anything.
- A question that shows you searched first, referencing that you looked around and still have a narrower follow up question.
- If you truly want to share your own blog or website, a private message to the moderators asking for prior approval before you post anything.
Avoid
- Posting a link to your own blog, website, or product without getting moderator approval first, because “No Self-Promotion, Blogs, Spam, or Posting Copyrighted Material” covers all of that.
- Dropping a job listing or recruiting pitch, since “No Job Posts” bans advertising job posts outright.
- Using AI tools to draft your post or comments, because “Highly Likely AI Generated Text” means the mods cannot tell if your words are your own and will likely remove it.
- Asking a question that has already been answered a hundred times, because “Low Quality Posts” tells people to use the search function before posting.
- Writing a vague or lazy question like asking how to get into finance with no detail, which reads as low effort under “Low Quality Posts”.
- Privately messaging members to pitch your thing, because the self-promotion rule explicitly includes using the sub to solicit or DM other users.
What r/FinancialCareers Is For
This is a community for people planning a career in finance. The description says it plainly, plan your career in the wide world of finance. The people posting here are current financial professionals and people who want to become one. The rules tell us the expected tone, because the first rule says this is a community of current or aspiring financial professionals and asks everyone to act professionally and courteously. So the room is full of students, career switchers, analysts, and people further along, asking and answering questions about how to build a career in finance.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
Four rules decide whether a marketing-adjacent post survives here. “No Self-Promotion, Blogs, Spam, or Posting Copyrighted Material” is the big one, because it bans promoting your own blogs, websites, and advertisements without prior approval, and it also covers using the sub to solicit or privately message other users. “No Job Posts” bans advertising job posts outright, and the rules say the Discord server and other subreddits are the place for that. “Low Quality Posts” requires high quality content, thoughtful questions, and a search of the sub before you post, and it warns that low effort or easily searchable posts can get removed or get you banned. “Highly Likely AI Generated Text” is unusual and strict, because the mods say they cannot tell if AI written text contains your genuine human thoughts, so anything that reads as machine generated is at risk. “Professionalism, Courtesy” sets the tone for how you talk to people, including giving advice only on things you actually know.
What To Post
A good post here is a thoughtful question or a genuinely useful discussion, written in your own words. If you are a founder, the safe move is to participate as a person, not as a marketer. Ask an intelligent and specific question about a finance career topic that you could not answer with a quick search, because the rules reward questions that make best use of others' time. Search the subreddit first so you are not repeating what has already been asked. If you want to share anything of your own, like a blog or a website, the rules say you need prior approval from the moderators, so ask them first and accept their answer. Write everything yourself, plainly, because this community is explicitly on guard against AI generated text. And be careful with advice, because the rules ask you not to talk about things you do not know.
What To Avoid
The fastest way to get removed is self-promotion. Do not link your blog, your website, your tool, or your advertisement, and do not ask for approval after you have already posted, because the rule requires prior approval. Do not post job openings or recruiting pitches, that is banned completely. Do not use AI tools to write your posts or comments, because this community explicitly flags and removes text that looks AI generated. Do not ask a question that a search of the subreddit would already answer, because the low quality rule calls that out by name. Do not pretend to know things you do not know when you give advice, because the professionalism rule says to be responsible and not talk about things beyond your knowledge. And do not message members privately to pitch them, because the rules treat that as solicitation.

Common questions about r/FinancialCareers
Can I post a job listing for my company?
No. “No Job Posts” bans advertising job posts on the sub completely, and the rules point people toward the Discord server and other subreddits for that.
Can I use AI to write my post?
No. “Highly Likely AI Generated Text” means the mods cannot verify your post contains your genuine human thoughts, so anything that looks machine written is likely to be removed.
Can I ask for career advice?
Yes, as long as it is thoughtful, specific, and not something a quick search would already answer. “Low Quality Posts” rewards intelligent questions that make good use of others' time.
Are links allowed?
The rules do not state a link policy beyond the self-promotion rule, so treat any link pointing to your own stuff as needing prior approval and link only to public sources otherwise.
