From Physics to Consulting: Life After the Lab

Choosing a career path outside of academia can be intimidating - but it doesn't have to be! While there are numerous paths a Physicist could take, their training and experience solving complex problems, as well as ability to conduct deep research, makes them particularly well-suited for careers in management consulting. In this talk, we'll discuss how one Physicist transitioned out of academia to a fulfilling career in technology strategy consulting, and what she learned along the way, including: how to approach a career search, developing (the poorly-named) "soft" skills needed for a career in industry, and how she leverages her Physics training on a daily basis.
