employed physicist

Those of you who have completed research physics and are currently working, how is it, what exactly do you do, are you satisfied, do you work inside your country (and if yes, which one) or abroad, online, how difficult was it for you to get your current job?

Finished my PhD in particle theory last August. Have been working as a catastrophe modeler for a reinsurance company since then. Job search was relatively straightforward, I was probably lucky. I'm happy with my job, it is very low stress level, pays well, lots of vacations and I get to do some physics and coding

That seems so cool! Good for you. Do you mind sharing what country or company is that, do they have any online workers?
