No OP, but another former physicist. There's not much career opportunity in that field, but physicists are eminently hireable in software engineering or investment banking.

Current Physics PhD student here.

Pretty much this is the case. Trying to not get spun out of academia is hard work, due to the limited opportunities. Especially is you're unable to move beyond your own country.

Then the temptation of other jobs that easily pay three, four, fives times the salary creep in.

And FAANG or investment banking pays even higher than then that.

Potentially, there's a lower glass ceiling in the UK

In engineering, probably not so much in banking. Unless you mean class barriers.

I mean SE salaries aren't what you'd get in the US for FAANG.

Banking in the city is probably the higher paid job in the UK
