| Jun 19, 2014 at 23:23 | comment | added | user1451857 | to Mark Grant: Thanks for your insight. I do not have anyone right now in my mind, that works in industry, in a place where I would fit, more or less. | |
| Jun 19, 2014 at 23:16 | comment | added | user1451857 | While I have already posted the question on academia.stackexchange, I was actually hoping that via this forum - MO - I would receive answers from persons in a similar position to mine [holding a PhD in pure Math, with pure Math work experience only]. It seemed to me that pure mathematicians tend to visit MO. I do not know to what extent this is true for academia.stackexchange. And I do not know of other places where the questions would fit, as explained. | |
| Jun 19, 2014 at 23:10 | comment | added | user1451857 | So my reasoning is incorrect. If so, apologies again. | |

my apologies! I am aware tha MO is mostly for research questions. But, after taking a quick look at some questions tagged carreer'' and soft question'', such as this one:mathoverflow.net/questions/168381/…, I had assumed, that, as a matter of fact, my questions would also be accepted.

Not suitable for this site | |
| Jun 19, 2014 at 7:27 | comment | added | Mark Grant | You say you don't know anything outside of Math, but do you know anyone? The ideal situation is that you have one (or several) contacts in industry, and they can tell you how thing work (and maybe even pull a few strings for you!). | |

| Jun 19, 2014 at 0:50 | comment | added | fedja | I'm not even sure it will fit the academia subforum (that would be perfectly fine if one tried to move from industry to academia asking what rules apply here). The common sense advice is that while, in principle, it can be "too early" to start looking for the possibilities, you cannot lose too much erring on this side (if they cannot wait for you now, they'll just not have that position by the time you are ready anyway), but the opposite error may be fatal. So, I would start probing the ground right away. Even if you don't secure a position, you may establish some useful connections. | |

added the first line to explain that the exact same set of questions has been posted on academia.stackexchange
|
| Jun 18, 2014 at 23:06 | comment | added | The Masked Avenger | Posting the same question on more than one forum usually ticks off readers of both forums, which is unfortunately your intended audience. Best is to indicate this with a link to the other question on both copies. For the copy here, something like "crossposted to academia.se" at the top with a link is suggested. | |

| Jun 18, 2014 at 22:43 | comment | added | user1451857 | Thanks for the suggestion. I have just added the question there as well. I am hoping to receive answers from mathematicians [holding a PhD in pure Math] who have done a similar transition. So perhaps posting the question on both websites increases my chances of getting such answers. | |
