My first two jobs out of college were in FinTech -- lots of math there (partial derivatives, linear algebra, numerical analysis methods, stats and more) Then later, I was in image processing -- a lot of linear algebra.

Having a good grasp of probability and statistics will serve you in almost anything you do.
