do not produce deep industry related domain knowledge. Instead they produce students that are not qualified for any job in the workforce.
Great, you studied Algebraic Topology but you lack the probability/statistics and coding knowledge to become a data scientist. You don't know React,Angular, or anything remotely useful.
This means a 3-month bootcamp graduate is more qualified for a job than you are.

I guess I'll be fine, then.

why would you expect a pure math degree to give you 'deep industry' knowledge in the first place? it prepares you for researching pure math, that's why it has that name

Also anyone capable of graduating in pure math is capable of picking up any skill relevant to "industry" on a whim. CS fags are just mad that someone who didn't spend few years on subpar degree is better at their work

This
Tell a CS fag what a "group" or "sup A" is and they will cry.

You should be pretty safe then. Not sure about pure mathematics in the political climate around the world.

this desu senpai

likely accurate
every prof i've talked to says this

No. A boot camp grad while get a job before a pure math major. Pure math guys say this because they don't have any relevant industry experience nor know what industry is like.
Reason boot camp grad would be hired first is because they are code monkeys that know the latest stacks. This is despite the fact the code monkey will be lost as soon as they have to code something real.
The math major would smoke the code monkey once they learn coding though

Believe it or not a degree on a piece of CV is actually more impressive than you think. A pure math person most likely has a masters or PhD and other skills than just writing proofs. Some people are passionate for subjects, if you want the fastest way to industry to engineering, simple as that. Actually, there's no reason not to major in engineering if your goal is to get a job.

*go to engineering

Yeah no shit code monkey will get code monkey job. He was talking about data scientist and such. Everyone will hire math grad over anything else for positions like those. Even ML is dominated by pure mathematicians.
t. CS grad getting rekt by pure math grads
