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.
