This isn't the typical advice question but more career related. Also not sure if this is the right place but any advice is appreciated.
I'm a college student graduating in May and set to begin my career as an actuary. I have accepted an amazing position to start this summer with a healthcare consulting firm in the Midwest.
That being said, I've always been interested in financial markets and investing, yet I have never known how my interests in math and analytics would transfer to a career in the finance field. I'm not your typical math geek that can't talk to people (I've held positions in a social fraternity including president). But at the same time I don't want to be in a sales position that isn't analytical.
So my question is, what types of positions exist in the financial world that might suit my interests? For someone that is graduating in a few months with a BS in actuarial science, is it too late for me? Are these types of positions all located around Wall St? Is the pay comparable to a consulting actuary? I have a very high gpa but I'm not at a "prestigious" school. Will that hurt my chances, or would I need to go to grad school?
I'm pretty happy with being an actuary, but with the end of my college career soon approaching I find myself exploring other possibilities to be sure I'm doing what I want.
