You’ve got to reimagine what a career is. Academia sets us up to believe in the life-long career...the market isn’t like that! #BeyondProf
You’re going to move around a lot - sometimes within a company, oftentimes not.
Sage advice from @drmarenw’s partner - you don’t need to figure out what you want to do forever, but think about what you’d like to try next! #beyondprof
Your first job out of academia is not going to be your last. #homeworktime #BeyondProf
Remember, these videos are replayable for attendees ‘til the middle of June! Lots of time to revisit this advice #BeyondProf

With academic jobs, you find the postings in the same places, the applications are long, and the process is cyclical - the exact opposite of the non-ac market! @drmarenw #BeyondProf
The transition can be hard - we become steeped in academic culture, even though we might not dream of professorship #BeyondProf
