Episode 26: Impostor syndrome is real, and common. Here's what you can do about it. 25:42

Academia is populated with over-achievers competing for scarce resources and reviewing and critiquing each other. It's a recipe for toxic culture. It also means that too many PhDs feel like they're not good enough, that they lack worth and value. We're also hesitant to ask for help or admit we don't know, because not knowing is an invitation for another academic to be cruel or unkind. But we have to overcome our sense of impostor syndrome in order to be successful in landing a nonacademic job. We have to admit we need help, and that we don't know what we don't know. We also have to trust that people will help us. In this episode, Maren talks about ways you can overcome impostor syndrome and approach your job search with curiosity and openness.…

Episode 14: Should I stay or should I go? How sunk cost fallacy keeps us in academia 21:27

You made the decision to earn your degree and pursue a career in academia. But is that enough of a reason to stay? In this episode, Maren discusses how the sunk cost fallacy keeps people in academia. We've invested so many years earning our degrees and we want that investment to pay off in some ways. But that time, energy, and money is already gone. It's in the past. And it doesn't have to inform your future.…

Episode 13: Job security vs Career Security: why a job for life is a terrible idea 17:45

acum 4 years17:45

17:45

Many PhDs worry that leaving academia means giving up job security, especially if they've landed a "golden ticket" and secured a tenure track job. But a job for life traps you. It creates a system where people are chasing a unicorn job, that few will actually achieve. It means that few people enter the system because few people are exiting. And it misses how important firing and quitting are in building healthy work cultures. In this episode, Maren argues that what PhDs should be seeking is Career Security. They should take their skills and talents and move into careers where they have options ... and where their employer KNOWS they have options.…

Episode 12: It's time to be honest about the academic job market 24:48

Graduate students and PhDs are making decisions about their academic careers in the absence of data. How many tenure track jobs are there in a discipline? How many applications do departments receive? When are PhDs most marketable? The nuances of the academic hiring process matter. But this data doesn't exist for most academic disciplines. In this episode, Maren talks about how we can start collecting this data and the radical impact job data would have on academia. It's time for academia to be honest about its hiring practices, and provide accurate and transparent data so that graduate students and junior scholars can make informed career decisions.…

Academia is awash in a sea of talent, and yet there are few too jobs for all the talented people. The result is a race to the bottom: a reliance on adjunct and postdoc labor that is paid as little as possible. And this reality will be with us for the foreseeable future. In this episode, Maren discusses the harm that happens to PhDs who remain in academia at an enormous cost to their mental health, personal relationships, and finances. The solution? We need to walk away and say no to our own exploitation. Smart people work everywhere.…

Since 2014, Maren has focused on understanding two related problems: what are the emotional, psychological, and social obstacles grad students and PhDs face when they leave academia; and what is the process by which PhDs successfully make career transitions. Research shows that graduate students and PhDs experience depression and anxiety at 6x the rate of the general population. Often, the anxiety and depression is connected to uncertainty about careers and futures. In this episode, Maren shares some of the research findings she and the Beyond Prof team have uncovered about the obstacles PhDs face, and the process of a successful PhD career transition.…
