I run into people who use the first when referring to somewhere like Goldman or Carlyle and then the latter when referring to say the department at a car dealership.

"Larlo loves working in fennance. He was at Goldman but just accepted a role at Carlyle"

and

"Larlo had to yell at the fi(die)nance manager at the bmw dealership after they wouldn't offer the interest rate promotion for the car he wanted"

They instinctively switch without thinking about it depending on what I can surmise is a prestige context.

You just proved my point! LOL!

I pronounced it with a long I, "eye" my entire life. I now work for a company where everyone pronounces it with a short I. I just figured that the VP of finance pronounces it that way and so everyone just followed suit like sheep.

Oh, come on! Even the British use a long i sound in Finance. There is no other pronunciation in the English language.
