<p>I'm finishing up a PhD in math and am thinking about options outside of academia. So far, I've really only focused on pure mathematics, but I have a year left of grad school. Suppose I am interested in looking for a job in software engineering, finance, or some other quantitative field. What should I be doing in the next year? What classes should I take? </p>

Yes, I have read some of the other posts, but many of them seem focused on what jobs might be available to mathematicians, rather than what a mathematician should do in his last year of schooling to prepare himself for these jobs.
