Econ background trying to break into quant finance, need realistic advice?

Hey everyone,
I come from an economics background from one of the top 5 universities in India with probs & stats, linear algebra, calculus, econometrics, time series, and a decent amount of coding. I want to do a master’s in finance with a strong quant focus, but not hardcore HFT or pure math roles.

For people from Econ who did MFE, Quant MFin, or Financial Economics, what kind of roles did you actually land in? Quant research, systematic investing, trading, risk, asset management?

Also, which degrees and universities are best suited for an econ profile aiming for applied quant roles?

Would love to hear real experiences.
