    I'm n 2nd year PhD but I have made my mind once I finish my PhD I'm not wasting a second in academia. It's very toxic and unhealthy for my health

    starting 11th year of searching an industry job. never wanted academia job, never applied for one, after many years someone I know gave me post doc for 2 years while I kept looking. but now my resume looks even more academia focused which never wanted to do. I tried not even mentioning phd and post doc on some applications. it's a lottery, I don't think it's possible. have never had an interview. would be cool to have one some day

      Focus on industries which are in line with your PhD and postdoc subjects. As to the choice between teaching and industry jobs, these are very different and you should decide based on your personal desires

My thesis primarily focuses on the synthesis and characterization of semiconductor nanoparticles and their applications in biology (biosensing). Could you please recommend what types of jobs I should consider applying for? Thank you.

      You need to find companies which are into sensors and semiconductors. You can also look for research arms of large companies such as corporate research labs. Finally you can look at government research labs.

      Well what you have in hand is better than what you may have down the road. Postdoc in usa is not easy to get. But make sure you do research before heading off to Russia and avoid any war zones.

      You can search in indeed.com for jobs in your research area. You can also try for postdoc abroad and then go for industry job once you have moved abroad. There are industry postdocs but mostly in life sciences area. Tech companies often hire PhD’s directly.
