Season 3 Episode 8: Surprises

from Recovering Academic · host Recovering Academic

On this episode, we talk about what surprised us the most about the transition from academia to our post-academic lives. What has surprised you the most when leaving academia? Was it the difference in working life? Was it the different feeling about work? Did you have a lot of free time? Was it an easy adjustment? Or difficult? Transitioning can be all of these or none of these. We’ll share our stories. Mentioned in this podcast: Original surprise tweet from @drmarenw https://twitter.com/drmarenw/status/1055191449858383872
