starting 11th year of searching an industry job. never wanted academia job, never applied for one, after many years someone I know gave me post doc for 2 years while I kept looking. but now my resume looks even more academia focused which never wanted to do. I tried not even mentioning phd and post doc on some applications. it's a lottery, I don't think it's possible. have never had an interview. would be cool to have one some day
I hope that you have found a position by now. If your PhD was, in any way, quantitative and dealt with data analysis, you may have the basics of what you need to become a data scientist. You would still need to learn languages like Python and SQL and maybe even start out as a data analyst first, but it is an option as having a PhD does not "over qualify" you out of a data science position.
@@fornesus I've been programming near daily for fun since age of qbasic and Pascal, not really a fan of python but specific languages aren't really a barrier when you know hundreds and algo/datastructure theory. Still nobody cares about it afaik, I've applied to those as well. I honestly gave up completely at this point. I've wasted too much of my life trying to get jobs to notice me, getting perfect results, and I learned none of it matters. I've made enough money from hobbies to be comfortable for another decade maybe, it will have to do
Thank you for your insightful tips Dr. I wonder is it easy for a social science PhD holders to move from academia to industry? Or it’s challenging and need to learn new skills something related with programming for example.

Very informative sir.Thank You. I am an Indian resident. Kindly suggest me where should I focus more (industries or faculty positions). I have 5 years of pvt. Branch Banking operations experience and PhD and Post Doc (Management Subject) from 2 different state universities both were funded by University Grant's Commission. I want to go to Industries. Pls suggest what type of industries I could go in and is there any new skill needs to be obtained? Or I should focus on faculty positions. Thanks in adavnce.😊
Focus on industries which are in line with your PhD and postdoc subjects. As to the choice between teaching and industry jobs, these are very different and you should decide based on your personal desires
Thank you for this video Sir. I've recently completed and submitted my thesis, and now I'm looking to transition into the industry. My thesis primarily focuses on the synthesis and characterization of semiconductor nanoparticles and their applications in biology (biosensing). Could you please recommend what types of jobs I should consider applying for? Thank you.
You need to find companies which are into sensors and semiconductors. You can also look for research arms of large companies such as corporate research labs. Finally you can look at government research labs.
Sir I did my PhD in environmental science subject (arsenic removal from contaminated using biochar synthesis from waste biomass). What type of industrial jobs can I apply for?
Sir, I have done Phd in allied health sciences (focused on Mesenchymal stem cells and arthritis). I am to work in industry...what type os industry roles will suit my Caliber ?🙏
Thanks sir for very informative video. I have submitted my phd thesis in computation soft matter physics in kolkata, india. I am working as project postdoc in iit Madras for last 6 months. Can you suggest me some industry jobs in india/abroad? And how to proceed for those jobs.

Hello sir, Recently I have finished my PhD, now I got job in Russian pharmaceutical industry. It is good to go in Russia pharma industry instead of postdoc in USA?? Kindly suggest me
Well what you have in hand is better than what you may have down the road. Postdoc in usa is not easy to get. But make sure you do research before heading off to Russia and avoid any war zones.
Sir currently i am in my 1st year of phd(in marketing)..and want some practical exposure of industry along with phd..what should i do..so that at the stage of completion i have relevant skills to make up to a higher level post in an industry.

I'm n 2nd year PhD but I have made my mind once I finish my PhD I'm not wasting a second in academia. It's very toxic and unhealthy for my health
Yes it can be a negative experience for some people. It is good to listen to your gut feeling on these matters.
Thanks for this great video, PhD scientists who are trying to transition to industry ( like myself) will benefit from this.
Best wishes
Very helpful information. Thank you so much for sharing!
You are most welcome

Yes programming is always useful to know. You can use analytical skills gained in PhD then for practical purposes
@@Drganguli I’m developing my data analysis techniques like statistics, in your opinion is it useful and reliable for industry as well?
@@Alhamzah_F_Abbas it depends on the applications but all projects in data science and statistics are useful
