Now, whether that makes it important depends on you but it certainly doesn't make it easier... | |

| Mar 19 at 6:53 | comment | added | Jochen Glueck | @MoisheKohan: Well, if ones publishes the results of one's thesis in Annals or Inventiones or JAMS, then it's extremely unlikely to get a grade that is not at least "magna cum laude". | |
| Mar 19 at 1:37 | comment | added | cag51♦ | My understanding is that German-speaking Europe is different than most other places in this regard. Might be worth stating more strongly (in the title, say) that you’re asking about Germany, if that’s indeed where you’re applying for jobs. | |
