I wonder if this is what happened to me. I'm finishing up my PhD and despite being pretty set on going into academia, I applied to some industry jobs back in July that I was pretty uniquely qualified for based on my background and research topic (which is pretty niche). Never heard back. I have a nice postdoc lined up, so it's fine that I never heard back, but I was pretty surprised.
I recently checked and one of those job postings expired and was replaced with an equivalent posting in December. The other job posting (from a different company) is still open.
- marcinzm 3y agoDid the job specify that they were fine with 0 years of full time industry experience in that area?
- nsagent 3y agoPlease don't be antagonistic. I went back for a PhD after working over a decade in industry, where I had been both a lead overseeing a team of 25 contributors and an engineering manager.
