I went through something similar. Ended up under-emphasizing my science background because I noticed that it turned people off.

Not sure about seriousness but I did some simulation work regarding seismic wave propagation. Would that apply?

Interesting. Where would one look for these kinds of jobs? I am not really familiar with hedge funds.

I would very much be interested in this but there's nothing in my CV that suggests that I'd be good at it, except for some basic electronics I did for fun.

Thank! I actually worked with people in that article :) Now I'm based in Europe so my grad school friends work at companies in a different continent, so so far, no luck there.

This is a good suggestion and probably the most realistic path. The only trouble is that I'm in a small-ish city in Europe and have to work remotely, which makes networking hard. I worked at a company where I sort of tried to do this before but it was really hard to have casual connections with science people.

Good suggestion, my skills overlap a lot with what ESRI does actually. Thanks!

> As a hiring manager, if someone shared a profile of a person with a PHD in earth sciences and 8 years of “full stack” experience I’d immediately assume they were a generalist with surface level familiarity and no mastery or depth in any one area.

I learned that the hard way. I used to think my science background as an asset but I stopped mentioning my science background after seeing people's reaction in interviews.

That's amazing! Thank you!
