AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a recent graduate in Physics facing a dilemma between pursuing a Master's degree or accepting a job offer from TCS (Tata Consultancy Services) for an ITIS profile. The graduate expresses concern about losing touch with physics if they delay further studies and worries about missing out on the opportunity to start a career with a reputable company like TCS. They also mention unsuccessful attempts at qualifying for entrance exams for prestigious institutes like IIT JAM and TIFR. The key points highlight the conflict between academic aspirations and career opportunities, emphasizing the importance of making a decision that balances immediate employment with long-term educational goals.

Hello ! I am in great confusion. Cleared Graduation in Physics(H) this year with 65.93% marks.Was interested in Physics. I also got selected in TCS(Tata Consultancy Services) for ITIS profile with 2 year bond.Cant decide what should I do.Should I continue Masters or go for TCS.I know, both are different areas but I am unable to decide.
If I doMasters after 2years I doubt I would remember the physics nicely then.If I choose it now, I think I will lose an opportunity of early start, with such a renowned organization like TCS.
I can't decide my priorities, please help.I also tried IIT JAM, TIFR (Entrance Exams for renowned Institutes in India) but failed to qualify.

I hope this is the right place for my query..
 
I’ve been looking through the curricula of several European theoretical/mathematical physics MSc programs (ETH, Oxford, Cambridge, LMU, ENS Paris, etc), and I’m struck by how little emphasis they place on advanced fundamental courses. Nearly everything seems to be research-adjacent: string theory, quantum field theory, quantum optics, cosmology, soft matter physics, black hole radiation, etc. What I don’t see are the kinds of “second-pass fundamentals” I was hoping for, things like...
TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
