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.
