The number of papers churned depends heavily on the field and even the advisor.

If you want to get a job, that probably depends more on your advisor, their connections, and your connections.

The important thing is not how much you publish, but how much your research can profit capital, the MIC, etc.

If you just want money, then you need to get into weapons, grifts like "AI", etc.

What kind of applied math do you do? Does your advisor have any contacts with money?
