Robotics & AI PhD moving to Spain?
I am currently doing my PhD in Robotics & AI. I won't be completing it for another year or two, but my partner and I are planning for the future and are considering a move to Spain once I graduate.
What are the job prospects for someone in my position? What is a typical salary? How do research institutes compare with corporate roles and startups? How difficult do people generally find it to land jobs in this field?
In terms of location, my partner and I are quite fond of Madrid. However, it seems that most robotics-related jobs are based closer to Bilbao and Barcelona. Is that accurate, or are there any hidden gems that I'm missing?
I'm from an English-speaking country and have a modest level of Spanish (although I'm actively improving every day). Are most jobs in these areas conducted primarily in Spanish? How realistic is it for a non-native speaker to work in this kind of role?
