Hi All,

I am pursuing my phd in nanoelectronic materials in a public university in singapore.

Since there are limited positions/high competitions in obtaining a faculty position, i am looking at non academic jobs. Besides research related jobs, i hope to venture more into operation/sales & marketing of high tech industries.

Do you think it is possible? Any friends/colleagues of you who do that?

Thanks

any experience of working ?

no, lol

personal view, phd not really useful for working except when you heading for promotion or you can sigh some document IR.

so just use your degree to find a job with entry salary, i think no much ppl really need PHD in this industry.

what kinda industry you are specifying by saying "no much ppl really need PHD in this industry"?

engineering here, degree electronic, master innovation <---- useless at the moment

most of my seniors who got their phd are working in industry now, only 1 or 2 out of probably 10 is in academic lol

maybe i shouldn't come back to malaysia

work in singapore la, why come back, dun understand, now almost earn like USD, come back for wat.

Yes, it is possible. Just because you are pursuing a PhD doesn't mean you cannot find a job in sales and marketing.

i like to start technical first, then switch to marketing of the technical stuff

And the reason is...

Would you mind elaborating?
