Eventually, many academics face this possibility: leaving, quitting academia. Often, it is a decision fraught with much emotion, perceived as a threat to our identity, to our sense of self and pride. The uncertainty of our prospects in the outside world also fuels fears and doubt. In this talk we introduce some helpful strategies in transitioning away from academia and dispel some common misconceptions and biases. We also discuss practical tips and tools to face the culture change and ease the most common frictions academics face when transitioning to a role in the private sector.
This webinar series is organized by TNNN research school and open for DLN Research School members.
