- philipov 11y agoI'm not the person you asked, but from my observation there is demand in the financial industry for math/physics/engineering PhDs serving as some combination of quant, business analyst, and QA. They typically start as summer interns while working on their doctorate and are hired when they graduate. The internship is effectively an extended interview process.
- pmiller2 11y agoI went into software engineering. It was rough. I didn't have a CS degree and I went to no-name schools and had no contacts in SV, so I spent a lot of time cold applying until someone took a chance on me. I'm now 3 years into my software career and things are just starting to get easier.
