It seems being a postdoc in Industry is not a very good idea.
I think that is not only the situation as a postdoc, but also for permanant
jobs either in industry or academia.
Get a tenure track faculty position in a university is so competitive and also
the first five years is harsh too. But once you get the tenure, you are safe
for your whole life.
It seems industry postdoc or jobs are relatively easy to get, but working in
industry is so unstable. I heard a lot of layoff stories.
Anyway, it seems:
Industry: first sweet, later bitter
Academia: first bitter, later sweet.
You got to pick one that fits you the best.
