In this episode I spoke to Scientist II about her career journey.
Key points:
1) Would you go back to academia if the industry jobs were not stable?
2) Little development for postdocs. Is industry different?
3) Do you just doing research only?
4) Smaller companies are more academia-like. You have quite a bit of freedom and can make key decisions yourself.
5) Get out of the bubble.
