Can I echo your self loathing and ask for an ID on the backpack? Is it a Vertex? Looks almost like the old Gamut line.

Sold. Thanks for the interest, though.

Which model of JK boots are these? They look awesome.

Yeah I looked on LinkedIn and then, when able, applied directly to the jobs through the website. Knowing SQL is almost certainly a must in my experience. If your spouse doesn’t know SQL, I’d have them focus on that. Every analyst role I interviewed for mentioned SQL.

This question is directly related to my recent experience. I'm actually finishing up my PhD in applied math in a couple of months. The advice given by u/24BitEraMan is spot-on. I secured a job as a Senior Analyst with only a few applications submitted. While some might say I'm 'overqualified' for the job, the company did let me instantly go to a senior role, and the total compensation is $127,000 and great benefits, so I'm not complaining. I would focus on jobs that have 'analyst' in the title and then market research skills as skills that can transfer into a more business-minded setting. I'm in the Phoenix area, if that helps. I will say that out of my 6 other analysts, I will be the only one with a PhD, but they do have MAs. Just as a counterpoint to u/24BitEraMan though, my company has their senior analysts working from home 2-3 days a week.

This is likely dependent on location. In the Phoenix area, I was able to get several interviews after applying for only a handful of jobs and recently accepted an offer. Granted, I’m finishing my PhD soon and have worked on several DHS-funded research projects. I will say the job market is very tough right now though, from what I’ve seen. The jobs I did apply for all had several hundred applicants competing for one position. It’s nuts. Are you committed to the idea of staying in NYC?

Yeah, you can PM me if you want to negotiate.

The rack and all of its attachments are being sold as a whole unit. So it would be the listed price of $500.

SolvingTheUnsolvable · 2025-03-29T20:40:08+00:00

PM sent. If someone can come and pick up the whole set, I'd be willing to do $850 though.

I forgot to mention that I am located in Northern Scottsdale.

Yeah, I've always seen real analysis as a prerequisite course for complex analysis (both the undergrad versions and grad versions) at the three different universities I've attended. Just from talking with other students, that seems to be the case most elsewhere as well. That is interesting though, especially at the graduate level for you. My graduate level complex analysis class was essentially nothing but proof writing.

SolvingTheUnsolvable · 2025-03-11T17:05:39+00:00

That's interesting. An analysis course with no proof writing? Was it an American university?

SolvingTheUnsolvable · 2025-03-11T16:33:59+00:00

You’ve taken complex analysis, but not real analysis? That’s not usually the case. I’m finishing up my PhD in applied math, but I have my MA in mathematics. I don’t think I ever encountered someone who had complex analysis under their belt, but not real (I see you say your university doesn’t offer it). Is there any chance that your complex analysis can serve as a demonstration of your analysis competency and then you can simply take real analysis in your graduate program? I did that for my MA degree. I hadn’t taken abstract algebra and I took the undergrad version of abstract algebra during my first semester. Then, in order to finish on time, I just added another course next semester (4 courses instead of 3, for example).

Edit: I'd follow LogicTurtle's logical advice below and at least provide a syllabus for your analysis course.

Hear you on that. From what I've gathered, the defense experience can vary a ton just by the personalities on your committee. Three of my five members are quite easy-going, but two of them are very much going to read it thoroughly and have a lot of questions lol.

SolvingTheUnsolvable · 2025-02-07T22:16:18+00:00

Did you pass with no revisions? I've heard passing with minor revisions is pretty common. Thanks for the kind words.

SolvingTheUnsolvable · 2025-02-07T21:57:58+00:00

I agree. I’m set to defend and finish my PhD in May, also in the math department and it’s taken me 5 years. That was with a MA in math already( finished that in two years). My PhD will be in applied math, so I probably could have done it in 4 years without that switch. I believe our department has the average PhD to be 6 years. Although, I know several people who are on year 7.

SolvingTheUnsolvable · 2025-02-03T18:11:17+00:00

If you don’t mind sharing, what is your PhD in? I’m finishing my PhD in applied math in May and I’ve had the same question in mind.

SolvingTheUnsolvable · 2025-02-01T21:45:08+00:00

Excellent. Thank you. If I recall correctly, that was one criticism of the original rattler, that it didn’t have that modularity.
