> As [one] math major to another, there are interesting problems everywhere and literally all people are interesting and full of problems.
Add me to that list as well. I originally started graduate school with dreams of moving to California and working for a FAANG company. Early in the program I got a graduate assistantship that basically partnered with a large company to be a half-time intern. I didn't really see myself working at long term.
Over the last five years, I've come to appreciate the fact that I'm not using my knowledge of statistics to keep people addicted to their phones or serve ads. I just took a full-time position there while I finish the tail end of my PhD.
Everyone has an interesting problem to solve. It's just not everyone is slamming down their "achievements" down your throat trying to recruit.
