• First job — I’m going to be graduating this June with a masters in Chemistry, and will be living in London.
  

  [quote Cookie Dough!]…I presume, being a Chem Masters graduate that you’re pretty good with number-crunching/ Excel? If you are, then have you considered Performance Analyst positions in the big asset management companies? I started out in this field, but then moved to Investment Consulting, which also pays well but requires some pretty in-depth investment knowledge, CFA exams, etc……Cookie Xx[/quote]Cookie has a good point, in fact I didn’t even think of a business type position ( you’ll have to forgive my own bias).For fun, if you have the time you might want to read up on Jack Welch, who got his phd in chemical engineering, started off in GE’s plastics division and eventually worked his way up to ceo.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Welch

  Not really. Don’t get caught up on the degree / experience requirements. If an employer likes you they’ll look right past it — don’t be shy about applying for things with steep requirements — let them weed you out — don’t weed yourself out for them (within reason, don’t apply for senior positions obviously)

  Look around for entry level software engineering positions (don’t look at web-design type stuff).
  
  Work on your GNU/Linux skills, and look at distributed frameworks like Hadoop/PIG
  
  They will help you crunch large data-sets when you finally go for your Ph.D
