Out of curiosity, how old were you when you did your PhD? I wonder if the personal growth is more meaningful when one does the program during more formative years.
I started my PhD rather late after quite a few years in industry. Honestly, I felt like it held back some personal growth because there was more structure than self-guided learning
- Derbasti 5y agoI was 30-35. I had worked in the industry for a few years before that as well. But working at a company taught me very different things than the PhD did. It feels like I learned to program at the company, and I learned to think at the university.
