mareoclasico··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (May 2026)
Any internships available?
mareoclasico··on Ask HN: What to do with a pure mathematics degree?
Thanks for the reply. Are you still in that quant/finance industry? any pros/cons?

I'm a bit afraid, like a bunch of people I guess, of AI eating all those data analyis/science jobs. But that field sounds definitely interesting.

mareoclasico··on Ask HN: What to do with a pure mathematics degree?
That's good to hear! if you could share more info about it I'm all ears
mareoclasico··on Ask HN: What to do with a pure mathematics degree?
I'm afraid ageism is a thing, and I'm on the wrong side of it haha
mareoclasico··on Ask HN: What to do with a pure mathematics degree?
In a way that's what I'm trying to do here, getting some info from people that were in my situation or know people in my situation.
mareoclasico··on Ask HN: What to do with a pure mathematics degree?
Yeah I'm trying to stay clear from education, that's why I'm trying to figure out what options I do have after finishing.
mareoclasico··on Ask HN: What to do with a pure mathematics degree?
Yeah, already touched the usual stuff: C++, Python, R...

But the question is what to do with that! haha

mareoclasico··on Ask HN: What to do with a pure mathematics degree?
Oh I thought those exams were a thing in the US, but not here in Europe. I'll do my research. Thank you!
mareoclasico··on Ask HN: What to do with a pure mathematics degree?
Yeah of course! but I meant learning a bit of programming on top of AI research or Quant analysis or something like that. And I guess having the degree doesn't hurt.
mareoclasico··on Ask HN: What to do with a pure mathematics degree?
I'm not opposed to learning programming btw! it's just that I'm very lost on what's out there and wanted to know possible industries/jobs that I might not be aware of.
mareoclasico··on Ask HN: What to do with a pure mathematics degree?
Super interesting. Thanks a lot. Is it difficult to break into the industry? What kind of skills are they mostly looking for?
