Where to head to with this experience?

I have graduated with a degree in computer science with 1.5 years experience in financial analysis (commercial real estate) and a research internship with CBRE (largest commercial real estate company worldwide). I currently work in technology consulting, and specifically financial data analysis.

I was wondering where I should head to from my current job, what opportunities I should be looking for and where my skills would bring me most money.

Many recruiters are hitting me up for jobs and I don't want to be underpaid or undersold.

Any insight is highly appreciated.

Cheers!
