The sampling method in this study uses Purposive Sampling, which was obtained by 80 respondents. The data used is primary data in the form of a questionnaire distributed to respondents. The analytical method used is a quantitative analysis using multiple linear regression with the help of SPSS version 26. The results showed that the variables of Islamic accounting knowledge and financial rewards did not affect students' interest in a career in sharia financial institutions, while the variables of internship experience, religiosity, and job market considerations affected interest in a career in sharia financial institutions.
