Good question - between the financial crisis, regulatory overhaul on Wall Street, and tech boom, I've run into many people in this situation in recent years. In NYC, the quant-to-data scientist transition has been the more seamless one. Alternatively, I've occasionally worked with quants who are genuinely excited about web development - fortunately, NYC has great options for learning & networking here. You provided a decent background, but I don't want speculate and offer counter-productive advice based on limited information. Depending on your interests and experience, as well as the the different types of companies & roles, there is much to consider! I'm happy to discuss options further - feel free to e-mail me at [redacted].
