Making the leap from academia to industry? Buckle up, it's a wild ride! Here are 5 tips to navigate the transition with a smile: 1. Speak up in meetings like your favorite podcast – be heard loud and clear! 2. Find a mentor like a superhero sidekick – they've got your back through thick and thin. Cling to them like a barnacle; they're your corporate lifeline. 3. First impressions are like Tinder dates – no second chances! Code, present and dress to impress. 4. Presentations in industry are a completely new ball game. Show you're ready to hit it out of the park, picking up where the last meeting left off. 5. Want to be the MVP? Rack up those meeting attendance points like frequent flyer miles! The more meetings, the closer to corporate world domination. Bonus Tip: Industry companies thrive on detailed email writing. Don't assume they'll grasp concepts in bits and pieces; spoon-feed them with details. And remember, reply to trailmails rather than crafting something new. Also skim through all emails. All of them. #AcademiaToIndustry #CorporateAdventure
