    starting 11th year of searching an industry job. never wanted academia job, never applied for one, after many years someone I know gave me post doc for 2 years while I kept looking. but now my resume looks even more academia focused which never wanted to do. I tried not even mentioning phd and post doc on some applications. it's a lottery, I don't think it's possible. have never had an interview. would be cool to have one some day

      I hope that you have found a position by now. If your PhD was, in any way, quantitative and dealt with data analysis, you may have the basics of what you need to become a data scientist. You would still need to learn languages like Python and SQL and maybe even start out as a data analyst first, but it is an option as having a PhD does not "over qualify" you out of a data science position.

      @@fornesus I've been programming near daily for fun since age of qbasic and Pascal, not really a fan of python but specific languages aren't really a barrier when you know hundreds and algo/datastructure theory. Still nobody cares about it afaik, I've applied to those as well. I honestly gave up completely at this point. I've wasted too much of my life trying to get jobs to notice me, getting perfect results, and I learned none of it matters. I've made enough money from hobbies to be comfortable for another decade maybe, it will have to do

      You can search in indeed.com for jobs in your research area. You can also try for postdoc abroad and then go for industry job once you have moved abroad. There are industry postdocs but mostly in life sciences area. Tech companies often hire PhD’s directly.
