Feel like you'd be better served by taking purely mathematics courses (ones that teach theory as opposed to just how to apply it by parroting approaches) - Coursera/edX is your best bet for this other than classes through an actual college I'd imagine

Hi Fishes

As a .Net Developer, what are some non service based companies that are good in terms of technical learnings and growth for a 6YOE with good employee policies. Big plus for good working culture and WLB.
PS: Been working in Service based companies since last 6 years and I think I feel like I don't want to work in a client and service provider type team. O think too much effort goes into client dealing,reporting and maintaining image. Frustating to do this on daily basis.
