Hello everyone,
I am doing B.Tech. in Engineering Physics and in my final year right now. I come from a reputed institute we are generally offered on campus jobs although at my institute there aren't many core companies related to my major.
Anyway, my plans are to obtain a masters degree. My question is as follows, what are the job opportunities for a guy with a masters degree in Engineering Physics (my specialization will be in photonics to be precise)? and what are the salaries?

Thank you for your time.
