Academia vs industry: my experience so far with key differences
ACADEMIA VS INDUSTRY
Nearly 2 years ago I left my academic role for a job in industry. When I was looking to make the decision, I turned to TH-cam and didn’t find the content I needed.
When I googled it, I found angry academics who said I was a sell out - and industry leaders who said I couldn't hack it.
My goal is to stay as unbiased and positive as possible.
I don’t regret my choice to leave, and I don’t regret my PhD!
