How do you define 方便以后就业?
If lab research is included in what you mean, most regular sized cities will be the same. Smaller place might get you even better live style.

If you are only considering industry, you will need to get into a very high level lab with industry related project and GOD bless to get into industry, given you will be fresh graduate without green card. Well, you have good background, there are some better chance for sure.

Anyway, good luck. Your background is good enough to get an good offer. Dream offer or not? I do not know as I am so many years away from applications.

To be honest, I would like to be a researcher in industry rather than in a lab in university, therefore I prefer to study in big cities on the east or west coast, Boston for example, for the advanced industrial development. However, what exactly I want to do after 5 or 6 PhD education remains unclear, and I would like to figure it out during the following years. I think I should gather more information about job finding. Could you please give me more advice? Thank you!

I totally understand you. I would say a big section of Biomed PhD graduates want to get into industry instead of academic, if continuing research career. But the truth is that for these years, it is getting more and more difficult to get one company even would like to sponsor working visa for international graduates, not to mention the lottery system.

With green card and years of Post Doc experience, the possibility is much higher. Several experienced researchers in industry also told me the same. Actually, you can read those Ads of current available jobs, for some companies they write those clear. Similar level companies have the same standard.

But it is also true there being several exceptional top graduates that those Pharm companies want so much and willing to do whatever to get them. You sure have a good start and lots of potentials might become one of them. But you should also be prepared to the higher possibility of getting disappointed. Hard work and God bless.

You plan works very well around 2000 when there are lots of openings. And that's how most current industry researchers got their position. And it is still a good plan now. But the chance has dropped significantly. On the opposite, these companies are actively cutting instead of recruiting.

With the openings limited now, even recruiting, they prefer those with industry experience already, or phenomenal post-doc experience, at which level you can get a tenure track assistant professor position at other places, too. Also, they are selling some of the research projects to smaller companies now, cost efficiently as they do not pay as well and ask the lab members work a lot, sounds familiar? Yes, a number of them are opened by Chinese or Indian and the situation is not really better than working in academic, unfortunately. They call those small companies blood mills.

But these might change when you graduate or you can become one of the elite members like I said. Only GOD knows.

Forgot to mention, there are undergraduate level paid basic entry level lab jobs in all the big or small companies, too. But I guess those are not most GTERs targets and not much potential and requires green card mostly.

Thanks very much for your advice and suggestions! I will continue thinking about my career plan with discretion, and try hard to do my best whatever I will be in the future.
