Hi all,
I was doing HEP-EXP in a US institution, got MSc and started Phd. However in the middle of it I decided that job prospects weren't good as far as tenure track positions are concerned and I found a job as a quantitative analyst in a hedge fund. I work there for the past 18 months.
But I'm still interested in physics and Computational Astrophysics seems very attractive at the moment. I am not a rich guy, hence what I do defines my standard of living.
So, do you find the risk of going back to physics high? I understand that many guys try to do the opposite; going from physocs to finance.
