I’m a third-year PhD student, studying probability, who no longer has any interest in pursuing a career in math research or teaching. Unfortunately, this is the only career-path I had previously considered, and now I am lost, unsure of which questions to even ask.
I’m looking for some non-generic advice on
1) whether it is even worth finishing the PhD at this point (I suppose the answer is yes, but what tangible benefit would this give me?)
2) how to prepare for industry roles, especially in the age of AI (where generic advice like “learn to code” is becoming increasingly less relevant)
