Universities are a mess. Higher education is a mess. These institutions are poorly run and only getting worse. If you have a #PhD, why do you stay? Why do you accept pay that is 1/3 of what you’re worth for working 3 times more than others?
Salary trajectory and career trajectory are linked. If you’ve been brainwashed to think “it’s not all about money“ when it comes to work, then you’ll stay a peon slaving away for an academic advisor or mid level manager for the rest of your career despite your degrees. #phdchat
Average focus creates an average life. Zero in on the job you want and cut off all your plan B’s. This is the only way for you to finally get hired.
Complexity makes you seem smart. Simplicity gets you hired and makes you money. #industryphd #PhDposition

"If prompted about your #PhD salary, ask the interviewer about the salary range for the position instead. This puts the onus on the employer to provide the first number, setting a foundation for negotiations without revealing your current compensation." cheekyscientist.com/podcasts/cheek…
If you have a PhD, there may be no future for your career in academia. But this doesn't mean your career doesn't have a future. It doesn't mean that you or your PhD aren't valuable either. The skills you gained are needed. Consider careers outside of academia.
@cheekyscience I find it encouraging that collaboration skill is at the top of the list. I have certainly seen a number of PhD students learn and then leverage collaboration skills in consortium projects.
Technical skills and niche skills are a plus. But transferable skills are a must. Companies can train people on proprietary methods. But they can't train them to have a good personality. An a-hole is an a-hole regardless or training. They can't fix awkward. Ever. #phdchat

Hiring managers and recruiters are all brilliant and you should listen to everything they say if you want to get hired. Just kidding. Most of them have a BA or less and haven’t read a book since high school. They’re intimidated by you and you’re going to have to talk basic…
“I don’t think anyone is even seeing my resume, Isaiah. I’m either instantly rejected or I get an automated rejection. How can I tell if my resume is being seen.” This is what a job seeker asked me yesterday and I told them what I’m telling you now - the only way to 100% know…

@cheekyscience That is a great quote. It makes you wonder if all the productivity metrics matter. What is probably more important is the impact you have. The risk is that too much focus on productivity metrics detracts from efforts to expand research impact.
If you have a PhD, embrace the fact that you are curious, driven and often restless. Your pursuit of knowledge, achievement, fulfillment and having a positive impact on the world is greater than most. Don't let others convince you to do less, be less or try less. Don't take…
Why can't anyone get academic jobs right now? The academic process of getting hired into a faculty role is so extensive and so impossible. But few PhDs talk about it because they feel like it’s their fault. As if they’re just not smart enough or good enough to get hired. After…

@cheekyscience I once worked for a director who had >12 PhDs on staff that said our PhDs were “worthless”. The man was as much use as a chocolate fire guard and only had 1 skill: failing upwards. He was with us less than a year before failing his way into a better job elsewhere.

This advice on how to address the salary during negotiations is valuable highlighting the importance of being flexible while also knowing your worth
“What do I put in the “desired salary” box on a job posting, Isaiah? I tried to leave it empty or put zeros but it wouldn’t let me. So, I entered the same salary range that was on the job posting. Do you think it’s okay?” I was asked this recently and my answer might surprise…
In academia, we have to learn not to devalue others work while writing and reviewing a manuscript as well as attending a presentation. The goal should be to fill a knowledge gap but not to show-off!!
@cheekyscience Cheeky Scientist's transition challenges, always on point. Interested (;
Current read: I will revise my takeaways after each topic. So far ‘Adversity does not build character, it reveals it’, James Lane Allen @PhDVoice @thephdstory @ThePhDPlace #ThePowerofaPhD @cheekyscience
Already fashion acolytes, MK&A noticed a gap in the luxury market. In their eyes, no brand was focused on minimalist, timeless, wearable staple pieces. So, while studying at NYU, Ashley started with the most basic "basic": a perfect white T-shirt. It took them a year & a half.
This is truly excellent. I tune in every week & was also surprised to hear that @JonHaidt & I got a shout out. Fareed bringing the common sense & hard medicine universities need.
America’s top universities should abandon their long misadventure into politics, retrain their gaze on their core strengths and rebuild their reputations as centers of research and learning. My take:
The dead horse I won't stop beating: your PhD will cost you approximately 5-10 years of retirement savings
Doing a PhD costs, time, energy, and resources. What has been a hidden cost of doing a PhD you weren't aware of when you started it? (Mine was the mental drain it would take, to the point where I didn't have the energy to do basic stuff at home in the evenings)
They are all faking it until they die. Don't stress.
