I’d like to shed some pessimism on a lot of the optimistic comments. Unless you did your phd in quite an applied area you may find it tough to get a job without extensive study. I graduated with a phd in pure math and had a very hard time even getting applied positions as I didn’t have the domain knowledge. I ended up in software and still have the nagging feel the grass was probably greener on the other side.
