Should I do a postdoc?
When I visit universities to work with science PhDs on their career development, I’m frequently asked “I want an industry career. Should I do a postdoc? Will a postdoc help me?”
The answer I always give is: “If you are transitioning to industry, then no you shouldn’t. It will not help you, and it just may hurt you.’ You’ve already spent enough time in school.
Once you have a PhD, it’s time to finally go get some real world experience.
