[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Taking a bachelor's level job after a PhD can be bad for your career (even if the salary difference is smaller--like a bachelor's level job vs. a postdoc) because it signals to an employer that you don't value the autonomy and potential for growth that comes with a PhD and that you are desperate. If you take the job in Redwood City, yes the COL is high, but you would be more able to move to another PhD-level job later on in another location than if you took a bachelor's level job. Also 150K, even in California, is good money and you will be fine, provided you have appropriate expectations for housing in a high COL area.[/quote] But what if it's temporary? For maybe 1-2 years to get job experience. We really like the city in Florida. It's a good place to raise a family. [/quote] Let me guess. Are you first in family to get a PhD? [/quote]
