Laid off from one of the Top Banks - Advice

Hi Everyone, 

I was recently laid off from one of the top banks due to budgeting. I was working in wealth management as a wealth manager & financial analyst. My finance licenses were not impacted; I still have my series 7 & series 63. 

I was thinking about business school and am currently studying for the GMAT / GRE. I went to an ivy undergrad. I have three years of experience at this bank but unfortunately had to leave. 

Wanting to see what roles I can apply for with the my series 7 & series 63 with 2 years in wealth management. I am open to working in outside of wealth management. Also any advice on how I can approach the lay off would be helpful.
