> if you are an aspiring mathematician, and you do not have a sense of a good taste or mathematical beauty, you probably will probably not have a good time

Lol I have a PhD from a T10 and 15 published papers. I'm pretty sure I don't need your advice on "taste" or "beauty".

Yup. PhD is a start.

My condolences though, for being in a line of work where you don't perceive beauty.

I'm a researcher in FAANG - I'll keep in mind your condolences when I get my yearly RSU re-grant lololol.

Then thanks for your services, your work is literally paying me in my retirement.

The 15 is on the lower side. When I used to be there 15 would be on the uncomfortable side :) Good luck to up the numbers. Oh! do get back on the Cooley Tukey citations and FFT mention ratio.

You know you have a web presence right? You know it's very easy to verify you've never been in FAANG right? lolol
