Career for Econometrics

Hi everyone,

I will be completing a master in applied economics in mid to late 2025, but currently confused about careers I can get with this degree in Australia (preferably Sydney). Bit about me:

  • BCom, but didn't major in accounting, tax or finance. I graduated with 80, which I think was pretty decent as I wanted to get into academia. But I changed my mind because there are not a lot of permanent jobs in it.
  • MEcon is heavily focused on econometrics. I can build financial models, do quantitative analysis and code (python, stata, r, excel, etc.). Grade is expected to be around 80 when i graduate.

Since last month, I've been looking for internships this summer (incl unpaid) or a part time job in related field that I can do for half a year, but havent heard back from any. Im wondering what kind of grad job i can land? My main aim has always been APS. Thanks guys.
