Both Vipul and I went to graduate school with a view toward learning more math rather than as a stepping stone to a career outside of academia. Our academic credentials may have some signaling benefits, but if we had wanted to optimize for careers outside of academia we wouldn’t have gone to math graduate school. As it turns out, our academic background has been quite helpful with the advising work we’ve ended up doing.
Our goal is to help our advisees attain life satisfaction. For some of them this may come from a high paying and stable career, for others it may come from pursuit of intellectual interests, for others it may come from a blend of the two. We feel that we’re well equipped to advise people in any of these situations.
Hi Mitchell,
Thanks for your interest.
