- cryo32 4mo agoWell I rather like to be paid more than a mathematician so left academia rather quickly. In my case corporate modelling mostly involves making prediction models based on shitty data and metrics to make poorly contrived business decisions that lose millions of dollars.
- thesamethrowawa 4mo agolol.... but they are still data driven decisions, everyone loves those, especially when you lose millions of dollars and need to justify it.
