Thanks for watching. For me it was a good decision to leave after my PhD. I needed the time and experience in industry, which then made the return to academia happen at the right time. All the best for your career.
Did you publish any paper during your PhD? Also, for how long did you work in the industry before moving back to academia? I am a final year PhD student and trying to decide my next step.
Yes I did publish during my PhD and also had some papers come out which used my PhD research after I had been awarded the doctorate - but not all PhD students publish papers, some may do more conference papers etc. I was in industry for a while (many years) as I really enjoyed it. All the best for you next career step.
Nice video! Not sure if you've done one yet, but some general advice, hints and tips on grant writing would be an useful video ;-)
Great video, highlights all the reasons why I want to leave the academic environment

Great video!! Any chance you could give a brief explanation one day about the process of applying for a PhD? Like funding bodies etc :)
Glad the video was helpful! Thanks for the great suggestion - it is added to the future video list :)

Is post doc compulsory in UK to get a lecturer job at University ? And does it play important role in selection while going for interview ?
You need to be able to show research & teaching experience. Often people do this via a Postdoc route - but I did it through working in industry 😀
@@DrCST thanks 😊
