>>13011684This is me, and I wanted to add a few things for fellow phys majors.
I went to a good uni, but they didn't require programming because they expected people to learn while assisting professors or some shit? I was never clear why but it was my biggest problem. When I graduated, I had no problem getting interviews, but my lack of programming experience kept me from an actual job, so I went back for two more courses. Intro to python for scientific programming and a intro Matlab course through the math dept.
Lrn to program, get some data science skillz if you wanna make it.
There's a large focus on optics in r&d in the US, which a lot of engineers don't get, so take quantum 1&2 and optics and leverage that shit in the job market.
Also, familiarize yourself more with fourier transforms and other mathematical methods that you should have touched on but may not have had a lot of practical experience with. Hope this helps someone!
