A mathematician doing banking. What could be more natural?
Hi. My name is Ruben Glueck and I am a math PhD. I am at home with numbers, I can do long calculations flawlessly and I can dig through dense information looking for a flaw. There are many career paths for me, but banking seems like a great one. Does your bank want more than a number cruncher and someone who has reflected on deep quantitative ideas for decades? Do you want to add a spark to the office with puzzles, magic and brainteasers all with a mathematical flavor? Contact me today! Check out my web site: http://rubenglueck.wixsite.com/portfolio I live in Los Angeles 90027. Can you give me any information that will lead to an interview at a bank? Can you point me to material on the web with the latest news on banks that are hiring? Know a particularly good book on banking? I want to hear from you. If I get the job, I'll take you out to dinner!
Hi Ruben! I don't know what job would best suit a mathematician at a bank, but have you thought about becoming an actuary? That's an incredibly numbers-based position that involves the analysis of financial costs of risk/uncertainty and you could work with insurance companies and stuff. I have a friend who is studying for his actuarial tests right now, in fact!
I assume you've thought about teaching? Since you have a PhD you clearly know enough to teach, as well. I understand that not everybody is made for teaching though, but you've definitely got a ton of knowledge!
Here's an interesting article on job possibilities for numbers people (I'm well aware that with your advanced education you're more than just a "numbers person" but I figured it's a good article for brainstorming!): http://www.learnhowtobecome.org/careers-for-numbers-people/
