Re:Ask HN: Have you transitioned from industry to academia? by impendia on Friday February 05, 2021 @05:51AM (#26034975)
I am very very sorry to say this, but I suspect that in your situation you would face extremely long odds looking for a traditional tenure-track job.

You might have better luck looking for "academia adjacent" jobs; for example, several number theorists I know are now working at the Center for Communications Research -- a government contractor that does classified research in crypto and the like. Overall they seem to love their jobs, and some of them still do number theory research and go to conferences and such.
