Little serious questions. I am finishing my PhD (Chemistry)., expected graduation date is Aug23. But, with hiring freeze and economic slowdown, should I push it by a semester to Dec23? I feel, I will be more prepared for applying in Feb23 for full time positions.

Lmao wtf kind of PhD are you doing that you want to keep doing it longer. At the very least graduate and work in the same lab short term at double the pay

Ok but I need to have a job after I graduate. So that extra semester is there for just in case I need more time. I am trying to push to graduate in time and find the job of course.

Yeah, push it back. This recession and hitting freeze is gonna hurt Dec 22 and May 22 graduates.

BAH1, do you guys hire international students? Whenever I see thr job description, it requires security clear

Cont...I can get a technical job related to my field. But, I am only looking to push in case I get some positive response from consulting firms. My 70% focus is on graduating on time and getting a job and transitioning into consulting asap. But, my question is if I get any random job, would that impact my chances of consulting in the future? Should I focus on big brands like biopharma companies like Merck, GSK, AbbVie etc..?

Try applying right now. There’s big firms like Jacobs engineering that’s hire chemists or even county’s that will hire new chem PhDs. It sounds like you want a good job though and pushing a job back further makes things worse. Just apply see what you get look for the best option. If it doesn’t work out look for a job in a different field if possible.

Do you think women in the industry are paid lesser as compared to men.
Out of personal experience ,I can see that during compensation discussion HR person tries to convince a women candidate for a lesser package . Now this could also be the case where it is much easier to convince women to take up the job for lesser salary.
Whereas the male team member gets paid high (same YOE , same number of switch , similar prev CTC) though women are equally or more talented sometimes.
