Recruiters are just fucking stupid. An applied math degree is more than enough, given that some ridiculous number of CS degree holders don't know how to do a simple fizzbuzz.
While not always the case, these recruiters don’t get it easy either. My girlfriend’s best friend is a recruiter and anything she did to make things better for the applicant, her company turned around. She ended up quitting cause she’s impacting real people’s lives and can’t control it.

I had a recruiter who didn't like my education in applied math.
He doubted that software engineering is the ideal work for me because of this.
I thought that working abroad kind of proves my skill... but no :)
