The job market for PhDs in science and engineering has become increasingly challenging in the last decade. As of 2022, less than 5% of PhDs attain permanent academic positions, while books about navigating PhD programs continue to treat permanent academic employment as the assumed norm. Today's PhDs need tools not only for completing their programs successfully but also for positioning themselves in a varied and competitive job market.

It cuts through widespread misconceptions about STEM careers and funding, offers tips for navigating difficult degree programs, and supplies current or prospective PhDs with the tools to radically transform their post-degree career prospects.

Detailed discussion of topics including postdoctoral fellowships, nonacademic careers, success in industry, and more. Twelve stories from PhD students who talk about their relationship with their advisor, their success with their project, and their transition into their careers.

An author with extensive experience of the nonacademic job market and a real understanding of the challenges STEM PhDs face.
