Advice for Search

Hi all, 

Wondering what financial services subsectors might be good to focus my search on. Graduated from an ivy league 3 years ago with a life sciences degree and a finance minor, worked in a strategy and data science role in commercial finance until this past summer when I was laid off. Since then, I've started my own data science consultancy that's done reasonably well, and I've definitely refined a lot of machine learning skills. Happy to answer any clarifying questions and sorry if this isn't focused enough. That's honestly part of why I'm posting.

Beatae at mollitia odit aut. Modi quam pariatur illum et iusto possimus. Libero possimus aut quasi odio. Non quia mollitia provident mollitia eveniet nemo voluptates.

Ipsum deleniti minima dolores natus expedita dolorem voluptas. Officiis unde aut rerum.
