Careers for People Who Do Math

  • Hi, I have a background in Physics and Mathematics.

    I've been working with SQL Server for the past two years.

    I'm currently working for a company focusing on report automation with SSRS.

    I'd like to move in a direction where I get to use my math skills more.

    I've done some work with data mining that I found kind of interesting.

    I've also started to look at financial analysis.

    Does anyone have any tips on MSSQL related career paths that would make use of a math background, and skills I might want to pick up to move in that direction?

    As always, any help is greatly appreciated.

  • I think your move to data mining is in the right direction.

    Mathematical skills are more likely used in the field of data mining/ analytics / data science.

    Although there is also a lot of statistics there.
