Are quantitative finance skills and jobs more tranferrable than (IB/PE/Consulting)?

When we think about quant trader and quant researcher roles, these positions require profficiency in maths like calculus, linear algebra, statistics, probability, game theory and etc.). Coding is a plus

These skills are transferrable in terms of careers (computational science, computer modeling, software development)

In terms of place of work, the skills are universally demanded in US, EU, Asia, Australia and other places

How does it compare to IB/PE/Consulting ? Do they have the same flexibilty in terms of skills tranferrability and place (country) of employment?
