Season 3 Episode 6: Let's Have a Non-Academic PhD Chat

This engaging conversation features the non-academic aspects of getting a PhD - impostor syndrome, unhealthy competition with one's classmates, work-life balance, lessons from clients who balanced their PhD with parenthood or full-time jobs, etc.
Towards the end of the episode, the focus shifts to outcomes and graduate destinations for PhD students. Where can they work outside academia? What are some things they should be mindful of? Listen to learn more.
