A little guidance from someone who’s been there.

During a PhD or postdoc, time outside the lab or office is limited, making it challenging to prepare for the next professional chapter. It’s tempting to postpone career planning until the end of your PhD or postdoctoral research.

But what if I told you that you can prepare for this transition without feeling overwhelmed or sacrificing too much time? The key is to start early and implement step-by-step advice that resonates with you.

In this handbook, you’ll find a compilation of resources I have used or that I recommend to help you transition smoothly from academia to other sectors. These resources range from websites and podcasts to YouTube channels, curated to offer guidance, inspiration, and practical advice.
