What non-academic jobs are there for someone doing a PhD in applied micro?
Currently doing my PhD mostly because I enjoy working in economics, but from a job perspective would I be better off dropping out and getting a job in (for example) finance or similar? I'm sure I won't exactly be unemployed after the PhD but I also am having second thoughts about spending several years on lower income if there's not much of a wage premium for econ PhDs. I'm UK based if that matters at all
Any advice on finding people (perhaps on Linkedin) who have done something similar would be much appreciated
