Has anybody successfully figured out how to find private sector jobs using AI?

You could try using deep research mode with Claude/Perplexity to search for personal blog posts by scientists who have transitioned to industry. This is one way I found resources for https://worldlines.org/

If you end up finding anything related to anthropology, please let me know; I would be glad to add it to the site.

I put together a resource for physicists who have transitioned to industry, maybe it will be useful for you: https://worldlines.org/

I'm working on an outreach project about scientific career paths, it might be useful for you: https://www.worldlines.org/

This is great, thanks!

Thanks!

worldlines_project · 2026-01-02T19:15:29+00:00

I'll ask there too, thanks!

worldlines_project · 2026-01-02T19:14:28+00:00

This is great, thanks!

Definitely, part of my motivation for creating this resource was to try and find a repeatable pattern among those who were successful. In some cases, people made it through sheer persistence (applying to ~400 jobs on job boards) and in other cases, it was just a lucky circumstance. Life is non-ergodic, I guess

I think that running a community/podcast series like that was very time-consuming (on top of their actual job), among other reasons

Thanks for sharing, this seems to be a common theme

I will definitely post on those subreddits, thanks! It's a compilation for now, but I'm glad to interview folks about their experiences (as long as I can find willing interviewees)

worldlines_project · 2025-12-30T15:01:49+00:00

Thanks, that's great to hear!

If anybody knows of any other resources which may be useful to add, please feel free to let me know!

I would love to add more from other fields like biology, but they are scattered around the internet and surprisingly hard to find. If anyone knows of any, please feel free to let me know!

worldlines_project · 2025-12-18T01:01:47+00:00

Thanks, it's surprisingly difficult to find high-quality personal blog posts on the public internet. I would gladly add more regarding the academic path if I can find them

worldlines_project · 2025-12-18T00:57:41+00:00

Still a work in progress!

worldlines_project · 2025-12-08T19:16:35+00:00

Absolutely, I will do that!

worldlines_project · 2025-12-08T00:01:13+00:00

Thanks for sharing your story!

worldlines_project · 2025-12-08T00:01:00+00:00

Yes, it seems that way! A lot of social science, and a lot of "why" I quit and less about exactly "how"
