| Aug 27, 2012 at 7:37 | comment | added | JRN | @temp, it's possible people upvoted Todd's comment because they want to help the community; and they did not say anything at meta because they had nothing to say. | |
| Aug 27, 2012 at 5:38 | comment | added | temp | Why does the comment on meta got so many upvotes, but not any discussion there? What have people upvoted for? | |

| Aug 26, 2012 at 20:46 | comment | added | Todd Trimble | Frankly, I was surprised this question stayed open as long as it did (as I am about a number of recent questions). Nothing to do with algebraic geometry, which is one of the most popular topics at this site. But like many other questions where an anonymous somebody is seeking advice from people who don't know him/her, it's really off-topic (and there have been many precedents for that judgment). But seeing as this is probably going to be reopened, it seems wise to bring the discussion to meta (please vote this up so people can see). | |
| Aug 26, 2012 at 20:13 | comment | added | Benjamin Steinberg | I don't think algebraic geometer has anything to do with it. As quid said, either the question is too specific, meaning only about the OP and hence he/she should seek advice from people in person and not a forum, or it is so general that it is more or less covered by other questions of this sort. Anyway I wish the OP the best in finding a job and I wholeheartedly suggest asking people in person familiar with his/her situation. | |

| Aug 26, 2012 at 18:45 | comment | added | Benjamin Steinberg | I voted to close because the question is not really on topic for this site. I think it best to talk to your advisor, colleagues and career services at your university. | |
| Aug 26, 2012 at 18:11 | comment | added | Patricia Hersh | I have the impression lots of companies are looking for people in "data-science" now, trying to figure out how to analyze massive data sets. This sounds very mathematical. One of the words people throw around a lot is "visualization" -- trying to come up with good ways to represent data so that people can see patterns in it. But I've just been hearing about this second-hand from colleagues, so don't have direct knowledge about the employment opportunities, etc. Good luck! | |

| Aug 26, 2012 at 16:49 | comment | added | Geoff Robinson | An algebraic geometer would, I assume, be someone who is smart, can analyze problems, and articulate their solution in either verbal or written form, or, even better, both. Such a person should be able to make their way in the world without too much difficulty. | |
| Aug 26, 2012 at 16:35 | comment | added | Turbo | You have mentioned you dont have US citizenship. Are you GC? If not, it is pretty much hopeless unless you have some extraordinary support. My advice, get an MS in CS with RA under a faculty who can help you gain sw skills. Get a job. You can get a GC in 1 to 2 years if you are not from China or India. Then you can pursue your dreams if you want to in AG. | |
| Aug 26, 2012 at 14:37 | comment | added | J W | Do you mind if I ask what your background is prior to specializing in algebraic geometry? For instance, what courses have you taken at the graduate or advanced undergraduate level? | |

| Aug 26, 2012 at 12:55 | comment | added | user9072 | IMO this question is either too specific or too vague. Vote to close. But, good luck with the job search! | |
| Aug 26, 2012 at 10:07 | comment | added | Suvrit | how about companies like wolfram, mathworks, or maplesoft? they like mathematicians.... | |

| Aug 26, 2012 at 7:06 | comment | added | J W | Algebraic geometry does have applications to robotics, error-correcting codes and various other areas. Do any of these interest you? Not that this is a guarantee of work by any means, but it might suggest a direction in which to focus. On the other hand, beware of focusing too narrowly. | |
| Aug 26, 2012 at 6:14 | comment | added | Anonymo | +1 for "Anything a Banach algebraist can". Thanks. | |
| Aug 26, 2012 at 5:51 | comment | added | Yemon Choi | Anything a Banach algebraist can? By which I mean, it may be best to try and make use of the experience you have gained as a graduate student rather than the content you have learned over that time. | |
