That U.S. academics didn't collectively develop strong labor consciousness is really going to bite them in the ass as universities bend the knee to this administration. Politely worded letters to presidents and trustees are not going to count for much of anything.

I often give advice like "talk to people" and "do informational interviews," but I know that’s not always enough. In this morning’s Substack newsletter, I announced a new page on the After Your PhD website: Job listings for Master’s and PhD students!

When academics consider transitioning into industry, the spotlight often shines on technical expertise, publications, or teaching experience. But there’s another reality academics face during this pivot: student loans and personal debt don’t pause while you job search.

The dynamics of workplace relationships in industry are very different from what many are used to in academia. In research labs and classrooms, communication might hinge on expertise or data - but in industry, how you communicate often carries as much weight as what you communicate.
