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..
 
Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...
After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
