You asked: What careers do IMO medalists/participants choose?


The list of careers is rather broad. Of course, many go into academia, but others have gone on to be Chief Technology/Technical Officers or Chief Financial Officers, some are researchers, some are developers/software engineers (especially in finance, economics, and/or high tech), some are consultants. As you can imagine, some end up switching fields (into Physics, Economics, Operations Research, EECS, etc.) Some have started their own companies.

I’ll pick on one country, USA, only because I live in America (not that I’m American) and partly because I was curious as to the association with MIT.

I won’t post the NAMES to try to not potentially violate privacy policies. Each line represents someone who represented for a specific year (so there are duplicates).
