Future talks! "Transitioning from academia to industry"

Career paths after the doctorate can go in many different directions - also beyond academia. Career transitioning from academia to industry can be a longer process. Navigating what can feel like an overwhelming number of branching paths is a challenge for those finishing up a PhD. You’ll find many books and articles on that issue. However, sometimes it is more effective to get personal testimonials from people who have taken this step and share their experiences in finding fulfilling and motivating careers.
