What can I really do with an Applied Math Masters??

Hey all,

I’m starting an Applied and Computational Math Masters in the spring. I’m actually super excited to get back into math again as I’ve been in engineering for \~5-6 years now and feel I haven’t used much math. I’m trying to make a transition, in a few years after I get the masters, to finance mainly. However, I know that can be competitive so I want to prep myself and know what can I actually do with this degree outside of just quant/risk analysis. That could be anything from Financial analyst to actuary to SWE. For context, it’s ACM with a focus in prob and stats. So what are your thoughts???

Also, since I’m rusty, what are your best recs for brushing up on multivar/linear/diffeq? I’m planning on slamming khan academy, but any recommendations are welcome!

Thanks!
