Does your first job after your PhD have to be perfect? Spoiler: No.
If you're finishing your PhD and stressing about finding the "perfect" industry job, this episode is for you. I break down why PhDs overthink this decision, how industry actually works (hint: you're NOT locked in for 5 years), and what really matters in your first role.
You'll hear:
Why the "perfect job" mindset comes from academic training
How industry turnaround times work (2 years is normal!)
A real story: PhD who pivoted after just 9 months
What to do if you don't like your first job
Why your first role is a stepping stone, not a destination
Your first job just needs to get you into industry. That's it. Stop overthinking and start moving forward.
