Hello,

I am currently a spanish physics student from Imperial College London. I have been doing a lot of research about possible career paths. I talked with my personal tutor and we reached the conclusion that there are 4 main blocks, two more risky: opening a company or postdoc life, and two more secure: teaching or industry.
I would like to know if there are people searching this things in the forum so we can share tricks and help each other. Which companies do you recommend for physicists?
Cheers,
ector

Any companies will take physicists - you need to be more specific about what you want to do.
