I can’t speak to the reason for you being kicked out of your position. There might be more to why you’re telling but nevertheless have you considered applying your math skills as a developer? Dev shops, if you don’t have any predilection to further let-me-go-get-HR activities while at work, these companies will clamor for your talent. Someone with your math skills will likely pick up the more complicated bits — there’s even theoretical computer scientists making a really good living at places like Microsoft Research.
If you wanted to stay in research though perhaps there’s some penance you can do and someone who would give you a chance at a new place? People make mistakes doesn’t mean we need to ruin someone’s career over it.

- DreamScatter 7y agoPenance? For what? I definitely do not plan on pursuing a career where I get penalized for nothing. No thanks, I'd rather stay independent and struggle.

- DreamScatter 7y agoThe respect violation is not something that can be taken seriously, it's just something petty people did to me because they dont like my existence. Any employer who takes these things seriously is somebody I dont want to associate with.
- gigatexal 7y agoThen take legal recourse. If it’s that petty it’s probably illegal. Otherwise you did something — and something at least that got some people uncomfortable. Also who asks someone out over email? Dating in the workplace is a bad idea.
