Hey! I actually graduated in Dec 2017 and work now in industry. I thought about post-doc, national lab, or industry and decided on the latter. Do you have any questions about my decision process?
It depends on your field, but the bay area has a lot of options in industry. If you are keen on an academic position, a post-doc is your best bet. If you are interested in an academic level research position but not academia, maybe a national lab is a good idea. Industry has a little bit of everything depending on your field. Maybe I should make a video about this!
Just thinking about you, Zeyad, and so excited to see this video. It's so generous of you to share your experiences and advice.
I am so proud of how this experience helped you grow into this balanced man that you are today. Congratulations you are ready for you life’s journey 🌹
You ve done a lot of challenges....so proud of you ..keep going
Ph.D is a long commitment with numerous sacrifices. People need that push. Thank you for sharing your experience!
Thanks for the tips!
Thanks for sharing! So many people don't want to talk about the BTS stuff of academia
Inspiring
Could you share your plans after graduation. Academia or industry?

If you could go back in time, would you do it all over again?
During the program this would have been very hard to answer. But now I'd say: absolutely. It doesn't hurt that I met the love of my life at Cal 😉
