A Math and Industrial Engineer's place in IB

Hello fellow monkeys, I am trying to get a bit of advice on what area is most fitting for a double major in Mathematics and Industrial Engineering in IB.

I am going to say I don't love programming, but I do not hate it either. Essentially, I do not want programming to be a large part of my daily life. Initially, I was attracted to M&A or distressed M&A, but I am thinking it may be possible that my background my be of more use in a different area of IB.
