The market now is terrible but your math degree isn’t holding you back

What the heck is it then, lol? Is it just the current market?

I’m legit thinking I’ll just do my own thing if I can’t figure out something.

Yes, it’s the current market. I’m in the same boat.

If you’re interested in doing your own thing send me an email at [email protected]

I have a BA in philosophy and a MS in CS w/ a focus in computer vision. Similar boat as you. No 13 years of exp in a prior industry though.

I stopped trying to get a job a few months ago and have been plugging away at my own projects. I’ve been (equity compensated) working for a startup for the last month or so in a non-technical role and it’s been really eye opening as to what it takes to get something off the ground. I have a lot of interest in pursuing that route now and if you do too it could be good to connect.
