The NSA. (Really. Some of the largest employers of mathematicians.)
- squeegee3 9y agoYes, exactly. Be wary of staying too long - then you may not have much to (publicly) show for years of work.
- mozumder 9y agoNot something you'd need to worry about, since you won't get fired from there.
- bdamm 9y agoMaking yourself illiquid is also a way to cut short your career options. Should you have a shift in life priorities you may find yourself wishing to work somewhere that you cannot. Everyone should be able to say something about their work.
- ataturk 9y agoNot having work you can show would be the least of my concerns about working at the NSA. How about more pressing issues like "am I undermining democratic governments?" Or "am I helping collectivism engulf the entire world?"
