Less than a third of PhDs get tenure-track jobs. The vast majority of PhDs are left to figure out the labryinth of a non-academic job market on their own. Yet, the 2024 industry job market is far from the panacea it was touted to be: intense competition, mass layoffs, dwindling job security, ridigity of the 9-to-5, lack of intellectual rigor, discriminatory treatment of international job candidates. This talk will take an honest look at the challenges faced by PhDs in both academia and industry. It will explore ways to design a fulfilling career that ultimately provides stability and security for doing what you enjoy. Register for this Zoom workshop to learn more!
