You are dead on. I am burnt out from my previous position and jumping through hoops for people who don't know what they are doing.

The science degree was useful for when I did advanced math, before the finance industry figured it would just abandon complex math in favor of statistical learning.

There are definitely places that value non-formulaic advanced math. I spent most of the last 20 years (before retiring) doing signal processing, and some of it was very research oriented (no standard answers).

Don't get me wrong, I burned out for other reasons, but if you're looking for a job writing math oriented software, they are out there. Maybe consider finding a new area. Maybe take a break first though :-)

There are jobs that are not like this.

I’m very happy with my current employer. They’re hiring. Want an intro?

Sure, thanks, I'd appreciate it, or at least it would be interesting to see what is being done in that area.

Can you give me your email address (or Matrix, if you have it)? I’ll shoot you a message and we can have a quick chat about it. Plus, it seems like you could use a bit of good conversation :)
