Nota di contenuto | Post-PhD Possibilities: Discovering academic-adjacent and skill-transfer career paths -- I love that something I design can become a real product that could be used to find new treatments or new biomarkers -- I’m not a researcher anymore, I'll be a scientist forever -- Make a prioritised ‘life list’ of all the things you desire from life – independent of any single job or career -- It was really inspiring to find companies carrying out really impressive missions -- I can see team members grow and can help them reach the next step in their career -- Being good at question-asking is a transferable skill” -- Ask yourself–does this role fulfill the aspects I enjoy in my current career path? -- It’s healthy to evaluate your situation and it might lead to staying where you are or finding new challenges -- My work-life balance has clearly separated boundaries -- The process of doing a PhD isn’t about the outcome of the research or getting the qualification - it’s about developing yourself -- I love helping people communicate their ideas and maximize the impact of their work -- Working in academia was great but I missed the work-life balance -- A PhD is a substantial training opportunity, not just a sprint to the finish -- My PhD shaped the way I think and solve problems -- Leaving academia doesn’t permanently close doors -- Looking back now, I wish I’d been more honest with myself at the time and looked at alternative careers -- At NIH, there are many tasks and operations that need to be done or grants would not be reviewed and funded -- I am more passionate about supporting researchers than with any research I did during my PhD -- Look for internship or placement roles in areas that support research -- The idea of a more immediate impact of my work was very appealing -- Find something that is worthwhile to you -- The title of Dr holds significant weight when you enter the world of industry -- Being nearfamily and friends felt more important to me than continuing to pursue an academic career -- In academia, recruiters care about what you’ve done, outside they care about what you would be able to do next -- Having a PhD doesn’t mean you’ll impress people with your education, it means you have to impress them with how you apply it -- People are more often willing to connect and have a conversation than you might think -- Your PhD could serve as the most potent intellectual exercise, fuelling your entire career's journey -- I enjoy reading books before they are published and getting them polished for publication -- One of the big values of a PhD to an industry role is the proven ability to tackle a substantial project largely independently -- I like thinking about the best way to word something so that it is clear and concise -- Having a broad set of responsibilities is energizing because I hardly ever get bored. |
