What math helps with is signaling. Employers care about your problem solving skills (as opposed to actual mathematical knowledge) and there’s virtually no better signal than IMO/Putnam or their easier variants. On the other hand a mediocre math phd is not all that useful at all outside of publishing mediocre papers in mediocre journals, since the student probably just has a lot of knowledge but not many problem solving skill.s |
