Abstract:
Careers outside of the traditional academic track are becoming more and more common, as well as increasingly more desirable. In reality, a relatively small number of recent PhD graduates ends up staying in academia. Many venture into other types of jobs in a large part because they are no longer interested in the academic route and/or even being at the bench. I ended up taking my top-notch scientific training and applying it to a career in finance, specifically healthcare investment banking. This article tells my story and the impact it had on my life.

Mathematical modeling transforms real-world scenarios into mathematical expressions, allowing for structured problem-solving and analysis. This process involves defining the situation, assigning variables to measurable quantities, selecting an appropriate model, and solving the resulting equation. Such models are invaluable in finance, providing precise methods to evaluate investments, loans, and repayment structures.A widely used example is the calculation of fixed monthly payments on a loan,...
