> how many of them took them up on the offer, and how many are in leadership roles? In my cohort? Several, and who knows? The recruitment effort is very visible and intense. The US math phd market has been a slow-rolling disaster for over a decade. Everyone who can hack it outside the ivory tower is actively looking for the exits. So why is it surprising that some of them go to work at the NSA? > it takes a very narrow range of personality to want to be a cop, which at the end of the day is a government job... the only people they make rich are contractors I don’t think you have context on what math phds are making in entry level positions, post-docs, or adjuncting. I just picked a random entry level NSA role on LinkedIn (doctorate + 0 yrs) and they’re offering solid six digits. There are tenured faculty (post-doc(s) + 5ish yrs) who don’t make that. |
