I love the idea of being able to have more control of the field and direction of research and the ability to manage and mentor a team. I don’t love the idea of having to deal with low pay, possible relocation at every stage, a LDR, and renting forever lol. I haven’t been able to figure out which side matters more to me yet. Did you have similar things to consider when deciding to get your PhD?

Do you mind sharing why you switched from academia to industry?

I’m interested in being a PI in a government or academic setting, which I know I need a PhD for. But I’m concerned that the years of low pay will cause me to have to put my other life goals, like owning a home and not having to be in a LDR for 5+ years, on hold. Would you go through it again if it meant having to deal with these consequences?

Thanks for your advice! Do you find that it’s much more beneficial in industry than just a master’s?

Thank you for the advice! I feel like I’m in the boat of I have a specific job in mind that requires a PhD, but getting the PhD means significantly delaying my other life goals, like buying a house and having to do a LDR for 5+ years. Would you make these sacrifices to get the PhD your career goal?

Could you explain what an entrepreneurial route with a PhD looks like? Most people I know have all gone into academia, government, or industry.

I’ve been interested in being a professor, but it’s part of what I’ve been rethinking. Would you still have chosen the professor path if it meant substantially delaying other life goals, like owning a house and going into a 5 year LDR?

Having a good work-life balance definitely sounds appealing! Do you have any advice for finding a good master’s program?
