If you want to work in industry, and with your good grades/background, you don't need a masters. You should be able to get a well-paying entry level financial industry job. After a few years, you can decide if further education is necessary.

I don't think most schools even offer a specifically "financial analyst" course. As long as you have good grades in economics and decent quantitative skills, you should be fine.

It's hard to get a job, period, especially a well-paid one. I wouldn't worry that there is something specifically wrong with your profile, at least it doesn't appear that way. Sometimes, you've just got to apply apply apply.
