申请不到top econ项目大概率就是普通人，Top econ项目每年都很多毕业了只能找个10W+业界工作的，更不要说 ...

These words are insightful, incisive, and down-to-earth. I personally hold in high regard the PhD in Economics credential and the economist profession. However, generally only a PhD from a top 30 (or top 50 at least) econ program is genuinely valuable in both academic and pecuniary terms. Unfortunately, the Florida State econ program is not within the top 50. As stated here, for the vast majority of econ PhDs from lower-tier programs, even faculty opportunities at mediocre teaching colleges are beyond reach, leaving the private sector and government the only available career destinations.
  
The job market for the Management concentration is relatively tougher than that for the others and is increasingly so; nevertheless, it is easier than the econ job market as a whole.

PS. The Florida State Econ Department ranks 81 in the popular IDEAS/RePec Rankings of Economics Departments (U.S.)

Tech companies such as Amazon hire a large number of Economics PhDs, as is evident from program placement data. They are much sought after for their command of advanced economic theory and econometric analysis skills (e.g., structural modeling and linear modeling using DiD and experimental design for causal inference). CS and OR graduates, especially the former, are generally weak or lacking in these special areas of expertise.
