I studied physics, not CS, but my experience was that it boiled down to weighing the specific job offers that you get in each sector.

A possible reason to do a post-doc is if a full blown industry job search would detract from finishing your PhD. Nothing is worth delaying your PhD.

On the other hand, at least in my field, a post doc was not a step towards industry.
