It's natural for graduating PhD students to agonise over their next position.
Are my career prospects doomed If I stay close to home? Do I need to do a postdoc at a top US university to guarantee a faculty position? Would I be better off taking up a position in industry? What if I screw up and it doesn't work out?
No matter where you end up, you will gain valuable experience and create new opportunities for the future.
An infamous example of this is Nick Leeson, whose fraudulent stock trading brought down his bank and led to his imprisonment in Singapore. He now makes money speaking and consulting on risk management and fraud detection!
