In undergrad I sucked up to professors I liked and just went to all the office hours working my ass off and got some great connections that way but now as a grad student I’m having trouble networking. Conferences are nice and I’m genuinely proud of the work I’ve done so far but none of it is groundbreaking or that noteworthy. I don’t wanna be an academic post degree, im trying to do research in industry, but it feels like all the strong researchers with similar backgrounds to me went into industry as a fallback not a first choice. How do I connect with people who WANT to apply advanced mathematical methods?!I’m one step away from just cold calling people with interesting papers and offering to buy them a beer cause I’m at a loss otherwise
>>16787468>cold calling>interesting papersI mean, if that's how you see it.
>>16787468there arent many jobs anymore. all the jobs are being moved to low cost countries like india and mexico. so stay in academia if you can, because there might not be an industry waiting for you outside of it.
