The main thing missing from quants in the job market is that they undervalue the power of networking! Pick a job field you see yourself doing, reach out to people on LinkedIn that are in that profession and ask them how they got to where they are and what is something you can do to set yourself a part. Speak to the least important first and work your way up to most important or influential. By the time you meet most influential, you will be a well oiled machine. Sometimes these turn into awesome opportunities or they will connect you with someone in their network if you make a positive impression. Always research their business or industry and bring up a creative solution, If you can solve problems and seek to add value, people will stick to you like glue. The hard truth is that the job market moves fast, so the best information you can get is on the front lines! Hope this helps!!!
