What are the career options after Master's in Economics from abroad?

I’m an Economics graduate (BA, 9.75 GPA, 2 years of experience in Big 4 consulting) considering an MSc in Economics abroad (outside India). I’m curious about the career paths of those who pursued a similar path. Specifically, I’d love to know what industries you’re working in and where (industry + country).

Since many economics undergrads pursue MBAs, I’m especially interested in hearing from those who continued with economics at the master’s level. What career options are available after master’s in economics?
