"Great advice from great people. A wonderful source of information, advice, and inspiration for PhDs in the beginnings or midst of career-transition!"

"This was a very informative and inspiring event! I learned a lot from the panelists. I love the fact that your panelists discussed a wide range of employment opportunities and career paths."

“I walked away from this conference feeling both hopeful about future prospects and much more confident about my ability to succeed outside of academia.”

“Hands down the best resource I've found for exploring post-PhD career options and learning how to successfully navigate this transition. ...The panelists at Beyond Prof gave me practical strategies I can start using right now to make the leap from grad student to working professional.”
