FAQs for PhDs

question mark, pile, questions-2492009.jpg

After Your PhD was founded on the premise that asking questions is vital to a successful career pivot/transition.

Internal questions that we ask ourselves (“What did I enjoy most and least about academia”) and the external questions that we ask others (What skills should I learn to become a UX researcher) are both important for determining what you need to do next.

Because PhDs face so many questions After Your PhD now has a dedicated space for answering recurring questions I see on social media and from talking with other PhDs. FAQs are meant to be short responses to recurring questions rather than long-winded responses. You can check out the recent FAQs below.
