Really informative video. Thank you very much.

[@JawadAhmadKhan]

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

[@Drganguli]

Yes it can be a negative experience for some people. It is good to listen to your gut feeling on these matters.

[@im7254]

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

Very informative sir.Thank You. I am an Indian resident. Kindly suggest me where should I focus more (industries or faculty positions). I have 5 years of pvt. Branch Banking operations experience and PhD and Post Doc (Management Subject) from 2 different state universities both were funded by University Grant's Commission. I want to go to Industries. Pls suggest what type of industries I could go in and is there any new skill needs to be obtained? Or I should focus on faculty positions. Thanks in adavnce.😊

[@Drganguli]

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

Thank you for your insightful tips Dr. I wonder is it easy for a social science PhD holders to move from academia to industry? Or it’s challenging and need to learn new skills something related with programming for example.

[@Drganguli]

Yes programming is always useful to know. You can use analytical skills gained in PhD then for practical purposes

@@Drganguli I’m developing my data analysis techniques like statistics, in your opinion is it useful and reliable for industry as well?

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.

Hello sir, Recently I have finished my PhD, now I got job in Russian pharmaceutical industry. It is good to go in Russia pharma industry instead of postdoc in USA?? Kindly suggest me

[@Drganguli]

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.

Sir After phd in physics from IITs what kind of industrial job i can get??????

You can get in your PhD research area or in data science. I see physicists working in semiconductor jobs, math modelling and quantitative finance among other things. Also in space systems and materials.

Thank you for this video Sir. I've recently completed and submitted my thesis, and now I'm looking to transition into the industry. 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.

[@Drganguli]

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.
