Transition Do’s and Don’ts Don’t restrict yourself to your papers/fields Don’t wait for perfect, research-focused role Do choose environemtns that maximize your learning. People » Projects. Choose great mnager who invests in your long-term career, rather than only on advancing their own Do find a good culture fit (competitive, collaborative, ..), as what you want.

Transferable Skills persistence, autonomy. thriving in ambiguity (comfort in messy data, evolving requirements) problem solving (큰 문제를 작게 쪼개는 analytical skill), technical storytelling (key decision을 이끄는 narrative), people skills

• rapidly break down large challenges.

Don’t (in engineering) Optimize for novelty wait for perfect spec work solo for long -> rather, get constant input early write long analyses -> rather, use concise summary abstract too much -> rather, validate abstractions

Ph.D. is what validates your capacity for deep, self-directed work Leverage your Ph.D. rigor to quickly master new domains
