You've got to have the right math skills, but that's only the beginning. Here are some tips for navigating a career in mathematics.

1. Research and Writing: You're going to need to get used to writing papers, reports, and white papers. You can write blog posts every week too. When you finish each post, ask yourself if it could be improved upon or if there's any way it could be used for future projects.

2. Learn How to Code: Coding is becoming more and more important in this field. There are many different languages that you can use in your work, but Python is an excellent choice because it is easy to learn and powerful enough for most applications.

3. Networking: The best way to get ahead in your career is by networking with other mathematicians and also people who are not mathematicians but have connections within the field (such as professors).
