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 se

Not all industrial postdocs are the same. Just as not all academic postdocs
are the same. I was on the recruiting side in a company for a little bit
(helped my boss recruiting, not a big boss myself) and I preferred a good
industrial postdoc to a good academic postdoc say straight out of Harvard.
They just have more experience in industrial settings. On the other hand, an
academic postdocs might get to play with the hottest technologies which
companies like. Papers actually don't mean that much
