Should I Pursue My PhD in Quantum Physics in the US or Abroad?

[IxRxPhysicist]

Hey all,
It's getting time for me to start applying to schools for my PhD, looking to pursue a PhD in quantum physics. If given the opportunity should I stay in the US or travel? Relevant info-I'm finishing up my masters at the moment, thesis option.

Since you provide little in the way of actionable information, staying in the US is a fine option for you. So is going abroad. It's a personal decision.

How is the situation for people who went abroad for a PhD, and then came back to the States looking for a job, though?

A top university abroad is probably just as good as a top university in the U.S.

Where you might have a problem is if you go to a lesser-known university abroad, then employers in the U.S. might not be familiar with the school or your advisor. (The latter is probably more important... finding a job is very much a question of networking, after all.)
