    It’s amazing to be to see these memes where people seemingly declare that all applied mathematics is done by MBA flunkies in Excel. Just in the past year I’ve done cuda implementations to calculate the intersection of N cones, physics-based EM ray tracing, and fisher-information regularization.

    Christ if there’s this population of physicists and mathematicians on here who are yearning for real DSP and numerical analysis jobs, then fucking hit those DMs because we cannot find you on Indeed.

      Well I for one would be delighted to cross 35 years of software engineering with a maths hobby but I can hardly find anything.

      The only place I did find declared that I didn’t have enough maths without even seeing me or saying what kind of maths I would need for the role. From the JD it didn’t sound too tricky: pathfinding for construction robots.

      Its probably the required degrees that are the problem, not the lack of people who like numbers and would want to have those jobs. Feel free to share how to get into the field quickly though if you know how.

      I dropped out of my Physics MS and my shitty job is now inventory spreadsheets. Fucking hate people trying to make them relational databases.
