So, I am not in the job market having just started a job with a new startup after completing my PhD in Wireless Sensor Networks from Cardiff University.

However, I am a 25 year old computer scientist with a love of sensors, tracking, quantified self and the like. However, I have worked in both academia and industry but never seem to stick a job out for more than 6 months at a time (aside from the PhD). I seem to get bored/complacent easily and my mind makes me want to move on. Until recently, I blamed this on the jobs (poor dev team, no freedom for research, not adaptive, not learning etc), but someone made the obvious point, 'it is probably you' a couple weeks back and now I am curious.

I am just doing the corrections for my thesis and I plan to continue work with this London startup for as long as my brain allows but I thought you guys would know where one could go to hash out all the things they look for and have someone tell them an area/company/country etc. General career peeps do not cut it.

The PhD was awesome in that it allowed learning, development, teaching, flexibility but never a time to be lazy. But academia is not a stable career choice, with short contracts and the like.

I apologise that this seems like a brain dump but I was hoping some people here could help?

Thanks!
