In this episode, I interview master PhD career coach and consultant: Tory Wobber, PhD.
Tory got her PhD in human evolutionary biology before leaving academia. She climbed the ladder at Facebook and then Google before leaving corporate life to pursue coaching full-time.
She has been coaching for years and established the brand Academic Exit, which has a popular Twitter/X account and website.
In our conversation, we discuss:
- The turning point that shifted her focus from academia to industry
- Where PhDs get tripped up in their journey to industry
- How cold job applications are like dating online
- The current state of the job market (in the US)
- What to do when you don't have any "real experience"
