Hey. I am a 27 years old guy. I have two master degrees in top french schools in math and corporate finance.
I did internships where I realized I can't work anymore 5 days a week from 9 to 7 every day. I was not happy and I was very anxious. I was much better when I was attending classes (about 20 hours a week, then free time to work out, spend quality time with friends and family …)
So I taught about doing a phd. I went back to the country where I grew up and started a phd in pure math and I love it. I do really enjoy doing math and learning new stuff. I have a lot of free time and I can work by night, by day, on the week end, whenever I feel I am the more productive. I love this flexibility. However, I started teaching and I realized I struggle a lot to deal with disrespectful students and students who chat during class. That makes me very angry and I spend the whole day in bad mood after that. In my home country, even college students, who are between 18 and 21 years old, are not always as respectful as I they were in France (at least that's what I saw).
I taught about going back to finance after I finish my phd, but as I said, I can't stand working 5 days a week on a regular basis.
Do you have any advice for me to either find a part time job in finance (3 days a week) or work with only respectful students in math? And more generally advices for my career!
Thanks in advance!
