>>12518400First and foremost if you're not an autist you can pivot into the majority of general management/technology consulting roles with any of the paths. Keep that in mind going forward.
>StochasticsPossible route into trading, maybe banking. Coding skills required for this.
Unlikely to make big bucks without further Phd.
>Financial engineeringDefinite route into many facets of banking, from model building to machine learning. Most bulge brackets have great leadership development programs.
Big bucks inbound.
>Computational scienceUseful for getting into tech project management; roles are more sparse however. Implied coding ability gives leeway for wider range of options.
Possible big bucks if you're good at selling yourself and finding opportunity.
>OptimizationSimilar to computational science, roles are sparse but having a large skillset opens many doors.
Possible big bucks.
>AnalysisI assume this refers to more mathematical analysis not statistical analysis. In which case this is probably the least useful for transitioning into industry. A Phd is almost definitely required to specialize.
Will make the least bucks relative to the other paths.
Again it's important to remember you can probably land a decent consulting role regardless of your path. If nothing is set in stone I would consider a MS in statistics as well. Or even a master's in analytics.
