About IndustryCareerGuide
We're PhD scientists and postdocs on a mission to bridge the gap between academic training and industry success, creating tools that empower highly trained researchers to navigate their career transitions with confidence.
The Challenge We're Solving
Through our own experiences and conversations with hundreds of PhDs and postdocs, we discovered a critical gap in the academic-to-industry pipeline.
The Reality We Discovered
Academic training focuses on creating future academics, not industry professionals
University career services vary dramatically in quality and industry focus
PhDs often lack access to industry networks and real-world career insights
Traditional career advice doesn't account for the unique strengths of doctoral training
Limited understanding of how PhD skills translate to industry roles and compensation
The Result: More than 90% of highly trained scientists feel stuck and uncertain about their future, despite having world-class analytical and problem-solving skills.
