What does it really mean to leave academia? And how do you figure out what comes next?
In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Anne Schreiter, CEO of GSO (Guidance, Skills & Opportunities for Researchers), a Berlin-based non-profit helping researchers navigate career transitions at every stage.
Anne has a PhD in organizational sociology, spent time as a postdoc in the US, and made the leap herself. She knows both sides of this conversation intimately.
We talk about the numbers nobody tells you (less than 1% of PhDs end up in permanent academic positions), why leaving academia can feel like a breakup, and what it actually takes to translate years of research into a career that fits your life, not just your CV.
Anne is warm, direct, and genuinely reassuring. This one will make you feel less alone.
