Understanding Company Benefits Packages May 31, 2023

Show notes

Join Isaiah as he helps you break down benefit packages in industry terms

In this week’s episode…

First, Isaiah walks us through how benefits enter into negotiations and why that matters
Next, Isaiah talks about the value of benefits, both fiscal and general
Finally, he covers the things you need to look for when accepting benefit packages

From This Week’s Show…

PhDs Are So Focused On Their Salary That They Forget An Important Part Of Their Compensation: Benefits

Health insurance, retirement plans, paid time off – these and other benefits can make a significant difference in the strength of a job offer.

Benefits like these make up 31% of the average American’s total compensation, according to the Bureau of Labor & Statistics.

A strong package is linked to an employee’s overall satisfaction and loyalty to their employer.

For employers, offering benefits can help attract and retain top talent, improve employee satisfaction and productivity, and lower turnover rates.

So exactly how beneficial are you benefits?

One Key Factor That Affects The Cost Of Employee Benefits Is The Size Of The Company

Larger companies tend to have more bargaining power with insurance providers and other benefit marketplaces.

This is what gives Global 500 companies the leverage they need to secure more favorable rates.

It’s also why larger companies offer a wider range of benefits, generally speaking. Society for Human Resource Management (or, SHRM) has found that the average cost of employee benefits for businesses with fewer than 50 employees was $11,500 per employee in 2021.

For medium-sized businesses, the average cost was slightly higher – $12,800 per employee.

And for large businesses (those with 500 or more employees), the average cost was $14,800 per employee.

The specific benefits being offered is another factor in the cost and value of employee benefits.

The cost of healthcare can vary widely depending on the type of plan being offered and the location of the company.

Ask Yourself Before You Ever Receive An Offer, What’s Important To Me? What Do I Value?

Is it time off?

Is it great dental?

Maybe a sooner start date to your benefits. Whether it’s stock options, upgraded equipment or work-from-home privileges, the only rule when it comes to negotiating benefits is to remember to do it.

This Year’s Top PhD Careers, Ranked May 29, 2023

Show notes

Join Isaiah as he reviews the top four careers for PhDs in 2023 and dives into detail about what makes these roles so great

In this week’s episode:

First, Isaiah takes a look at what enterprise architects do and how much they earn
Next, he explores data science and discusses why this role is a great fit for PhDS
Finally, Isaiah shifts his focus to project management roles, explaining what the role entails and why PhDs are in such high demand

From This Week’s Show…

Careers Where PhDs Are In High Demand Top 2023’s Most-Popular List This Year

Every year, we look at the sectors of industry that rank highest in earning potential, job satisfaction and number of openings.

And this past year – just like every year that’s come before – industries where PhDs are in high demand top the list.

Today, I’d like to introduce you to a few of those roles that made it to the top 10.

A Career In Enterprise Architecture Is One Of The Highest Paid Positions For PhDs In 2023

Enterprise architects have a strong interest in new and emerging tech.

It’s their job to leverage solutions in a company’s network, maintaining and upgrading IT to increase efficiency and revenue.

A background in coding can be helpful to learn in this position, but experts say the amount of coding required to get started is minimal, if any, and simple to learn.

The average salary for this role is among the highest-paid positions in the U.S., with a median base salary of $144,997.

PhDs Who Love Making Sense Of Numbers May Enjoy Careers In Data Scientist

Data scientist roles have taken the top spot in past years, but this year they dropped to third place.

Today, data science is a broad field, one that is full of many types of roles, even purely analytical roles, where experts in analysis, like you or any PhD, sift through, organize and evaluate large amounts of data for a company.

From cosmetics to telecommunications and everything in between, there is a growing need for researchers who are capable of turning information into actionable insights.

A data scientist’s job is making sense of unstructured data from various sources. This could be patient data, cell phone data, social media feeds, emails or anything from any other devices.

They utilize their skills in both technology and social science to find trends and manage data.

This role currently has a median base salary of $120,000 in the U.S.

Machine Learning Is A Fast-Growing Field Where PhDs Are In High Demand

Next, machine learning engineers ranked high on the list, reporting the highest level of satisfaction for all the STEM-based science positions.

Machine learning engineers and scientists will become increasingly popular in industry as more and more companies use tech to their advantage – gaming, communication, social media, and so many more industries need their expertise.

Part software engineer and part data scientist, machine learning engineers design and create data funnels, algorithms and software programs capable of carrying out AI tasks.

The median base salary for this position is $130,489.

What Company Culture Is Best For You? May 26, 2023

Show notes

Join Isaiah as he takes a deep dive into work cultures and how being in the wrong culture can put your career on the wrong path

First, Isaiah breaks down the meanings behind company cultures
Second, he covers the types of company cultures
Finally, he weighs the pros and cons of each type of company culture

From This Week’s Show…

Company Culture Can Have A Huge Impact On How Others Perceive An Entire Company, Not Just Their Product

Company culture is not static – it changes over time and adapts to the evolving needs of a business.

But in order to change, the business should be able to articulate what its company culture is and isn’t.

Understanding the differences from one company culture to another is a great way to determine if you’re the type of employee who will thrive – or fail – in that company’s infrastructure.

The first type is adhocracy culture. This environment places creativity and innovation on a pedestal.

Employees who thrive in this culture are willing to take risks and be industry disrupters.

These companies are boundary-pushers, always coming up with new and exciting ideas.

Here, employees are encouraged to speak up and try new things.

However, this company culture might not be the best fit for someone who prizes stability or is intimidated by the idea of jumping in feet first.

In A Clan Culture Workplace, A Company’s Success Is Tied To Comradery, Collaboration, And A Sense Of Community

Employees who thrive in this environment are those who are good at working with others and communicating effectively.

You might hear employees here often say that their coworkers are like a family; this is by design.

Leadership at clan culture companies are looked to more as mentors than supervisors.

The downside to all this acceptance?

This company culture could be challenging when employees get along too well, increasing chatter and hampering productivity.

Companies That Have Adopted A Hierarchy Culture Prioritize Order Structure And Process

Leaders here are focused on making sure that everything is delivered on time and is of high quality – they are facilitators of productivity.

You’ll thrive in this environment if you like clear communication, well-defined processes, and a strong understanding of expectations.

The downside, however, is that prizing productivity overgrowth can stifle innovation.

Industry Or Academia? More Like “Feast Or Famine” May 24, 2023

Show notes

Join Isaiah for a frank talk about the ups and downs of academia PhDs are facing right now

First, Isaiah covers the statistics most PhDs need to face up to
Next, he shines a light on the demand for PhDs in industry
Finally, he wraps up with job-searching tips

From This Week’s Show…

53% of PhD Students Begin Their Degree Aiming For a Professorship But Only 3% Actually Achieve That Goal

Your odds of getting tenure now are less than half of a percent, at best.

Tenure is dead.

Everyone knows now that academia is broken. And there’s no way to unbreak it. Are you tired of hearing this?

Well wake up because hiding from the truth isn’t going to make your life any better and it’s not going to increase your compensation any time soon.

Now, by contrast, according to a recent MassBio report, there has been a 143% growth in industry jobs that require a PhD in the past 10 years.

Quality Academic Positions Are So Scarce Now That Staying In Academia Leads To Long Periods Of Job Insecurity

Of course, the idea of academia is still alluring.

One of the main pros of a career in academia used to be the opportunity to contribute to the advancement of knowledge in a research area that interests you.

Academics also had the opportunity to help shape the future of their field and share their knowledge with other students.

A career in academia also presented the potential for job security. Tenure-track faculty positions offered long-term job security and the opportunity to build a stable and rewarding career.

All of this is a thing of the past.

A Career In Industry Now Offers Not Only Better Compensation Than A Career In Academia

The hiring process in industry is also much more predictable and transparent than in academia.

Many industry jobs offer long-term job security and the opportunity for career advancement.

Industry professionals also have the opportunity to do research and development projects that can have a direct impact on people’s lives in the real world.

In other words, you can finally see your knowledge be translated into something that helps people in this lifetime.

There are also some cons to a career in industry, too. When it comes to deciding on a career in academia or industry, it’s really a choice of feast or famine.

Between the variety of work you’re qualified for, the staggering difference in compensation, or the opportunities for advancement, a career in industry is one of abundance and prosperity in today’s world.

Haven’t Updated LinkedIn In Forever? This Is For You May 22, 2023

Show notes

Join Isaiah as he walks us through getting your LinkedIn back on track and functional

In this week’s episode:

First, Isaiah covers why you need to be keeping up with LinkedIn
Next, he covers the main mistakes most LinkedIn users are making
Lastly, Isaiah covers engagement how-tos, how to know your LinkedIn is working, and what to do to keep up with it

From This Week’s Show…

Understand That LinkedIn Is A Professional Social Network…Emphasis On Social

By posting, commenting, and sharing regularly, you can build rapport with your target sectors of industry and with specific companies themselves.

98% of companies are on LinkedIn and the majority of any company’s executive teams are going to have profiles on the platform.

This means that if you want to connect with decision-makers and influencers in your industry, LinkedIn is the place to be.

By building a strong profile and engaging with other users, you can increase your visibility to these key players and open up new opportunities.

Being Active On LinkedIn Is Crucial To Your Job Search Success- Google Loves This Site

A second reason that being active on LinkedIn is crucial to your job search success is that Google loves this site.

What do I mean by that? Well, when employers Google your name, LinkedIn propels your profile to the top of Google’s search engine rankings.

This might not sound like a big deal, but it gives you a presence outside of your resume.

Your profile and content on LinkedIn are your brand and can be used to drive more job leads to your profile and help you put your best foot forward with hiring managers.

LinkedIn is also one of the few places where humble bragging about your accomplishments is expected.

Take Advantage Of LinkedIn – Step Up And Use The Tools At Your Disposal

No one is going to showcase your achievements, skills, or expertise for you.

It’s up to you to differentiate yourself from your competition and establish yourself as a leading voice in the industry you’re targeting.

Another way that LinkedIn will help you stand out, especially if you don’t have industry experience, is by helping you stay informed about industry developments and trends.

By following relevant thought leaders in your sectors of interest, now called Voices (formally called Influencers), you can access leading-edge information and stay up-to-date with the latest innovations and updates in your field.

Too Old To Transition? Ageism An Issue? Read This… May 19, 2023

Show notes

Join Isaiah as takes a look at proactive strategies PhDs can use to protect themselves against ageism in the workplace

In this week’s episode:

First, Isaiah concedes that ageism is a problem some adults age 45 and over face in industry
Next, he reminds PhDs that they are in control of their own internal bias, and encourages them not to overwhelm themselves with their own negative stereotypes
Finally, Isaiah shares some tips PhDs can use to keep ageism at bay during their industry job search and beyond

From This Week’s Show…

Ageism Is An Unfortunate Reality For Many PhDs Age 45 And Older

If you followed the path that many PhDs took, you graduated in your late 20s or early 30s.

In academia, you see a lot of age diversity among faculty and students.

In industry, however, ageism is more prevalent.

Ageism is any kind of stereotype, prejudice or discrimination towards yourself or others based on age.

The unfortunate reality, according to AARP, is that 80% of employees over the age of 45 do report feeling discriminated against or having witnessed age discrimination in the workplace.

Now, if you want to make yourself attractive to employers in this job market, your primary focus should be communicating your attitude, values, and understanding of the company.

Don’t obsess about your age or appearance.

But, if you’re worried that your age is going to be a roadblock in your job search there are some things you can do.

Ageism Isn’t Always External. Don’t Buy Into Your Own Negative Bias

First, don’t buy into your insecurities or internal bias.

If you start believing that maybe you don’t fit in, you may fixate on application requirements you don’t meet.

Your attitude, as a PhD, should be that you can learn any skill in a short amount of time.

Don’t know Salesforce? You can pick it up in a week.

New to Python? Not for long.

You’ve earned the right to be confident in your skills, and – just like all PhDs – you have an innate ability to learn quickly, efficiently, and thoroughly.

Demonstrate That You’re A Good Company Fit At Any Age

The second thing you can do to dispel myths about older professionals not being able to work as hard is to embody the characteristics of a successful employee at your company of interest.

Know the soft and hard skills that are in demand in the industry you’re targeting, and be sure you’re including those on your resume.

Find out what software employees in the position you’re applying for use on a daily basis.

Don’t forget to add the ones you’ve used before to your resume.

New Year, New Skills (Here’s The 2023 List, Finally) May 17, 2023

Show notes

Join Isaiah as he examines the future-facing skills that PhDs should highlight for employers if they want to get hired in industry

In this week’s episode:

First, Isaiah shines a light on the disparity between fast-evolving tech and the relatively slow pace that humans adapt to it
Next, he explores four transferable skills that PhDs should emphasize to industry employers
Finally, Isaiah reminds PhDs that companies want to invest in people who are willing to invest in themselves, so they should be proactive by learning new things

From This Week’s Show…

The Skills That PhDs Need To Be Successful In Industry Are Changing

According to Institute for the Future, approximately 85% of education jobs in 2030 haven’t even been invented yet.

That is a staggering number.

How is this possible?

Tech is moving fast. Faster than you or I can process. AI and machine learning is the tip of the iceberg now.

More and more industries are seeing changes in how they work. Most of these changes are due to humans slowly adapting to rapidly evolving technologies.

Keeping your skills current is the only way to stay relevant in your job search. This means focusing on skills that tech can’t do…yet.

So today we’re going to focus on four top skills you can master if you want to get hired this year.

Data Communication Is High On The List Of Essential Skills PhDs In Industry Need

The first skill is data communication.

Look – data is more digestible when it’s engaging.

Data communicators, who are sometimes referred to as storytellers, are pros at observing patterns in data and then explaining the narrative surrounding it in a compelling way.

Let me break it down. You have a PhD. You can analyze data.

So what? That’s a basic job that you barely need a bachelor’s to do.

But, communicating that data through graphs, in presentations, and with a narrative driving home its utility to stakeholders is much more valuable.

PhDs Can Leverage Their Cybersecurity Savvy To Impress Industry Employers

The second skill is cybersecurity, which has become increasingly important to all physical businesses as they move and more and more assets to digital spaces.

You might hear cybersecurity and think its something that only IT departments deal with, or that its a skill only computer scientists should be concerned about.

But anyone with a PhD, STEM or non-STEM, can familiarize themselves with this topic to make their resume instantly more attractive to hiring managers.

This is because humans are the biggest liability to a company’s security.

By familiarizing yourself with cybersecurity dos and dont’s, you can show employers that you are less of a liability and more valuable than they may have previously considered.

Flex Your Innovation Skills To Get Hired May 15, 2023

Show notes

Join Isaiah as he examines how PhDs can use their innovation skills and research abilities to advance discovery in industry

In this week’s episode:

First, Isaiah explores some of the reasons that PhDs innovation skills make them well-suited to industry research positions
Next, he takes a look at three ways PhDs can harness their innovation skills and know-how to break into business and market research
Finally, Isaiah encourages PhDs to be proactive about their career growth and embrace their solutions-oriented thinking to find their niche in industry

From This Week’s Show…

Your Innovation Skills Are An Asset To Industry Employers

PhDs are problem-solvers, innovators, and incubators for ideas.

Where the rest of the world aims to be a master of this field or that craft, PhDs are contributing to an industry’s actual growth by adding to a field.

As researchers, PhDs have many of the skills it takes to build and grow a company of any kind, such as identifying knowledge gaps; determining what needs to be researched; pitching ideas; delivering those ideas to an advisor, committee, or other key stakeholders.

These are all skills you’ve used to earn your PhD, and they are exactly the traits that help build successful businesses.

Today I’m going to tell you the 3 ways you can harness your natural spirit of innovation to get hired.

Use Your PhD-Level Innovation Skills To Identify Opportunities In Specific Markets & Companies

First, do your research on your companies of interest. Ask specific, innovation-minded questions like:

How can I improve this product or service?

Can I do this better or differently?

Is there enough room for another business in this sector?

Get good at identifying pain points in an organization. What is the main problem they’re trying to solve – at a high level but also at the level of each position they’re hiring for.

Problems are business opportunities.

Identify Which Markets Have Pain Points You Can Address

Next, work to identify industries in need of a good shakeup, also known as a “disruption.”

A disruption is a new product or service that completely changes the way that companies do business.

Netflix, for instance, and later Redbox, were businesses that completely upended the competition with a new way of interacting with home entertainment.

Remember Blockbuster video stores? Hollywood Video? Me neither.

Research Markets & Business Leaders To Determine Where Your Innovation Skills Might Be Of High Value

The next thing you want to do is become oriented with market trends.

It is extremely important to be intimately familiar with the state of each company’s sector of industry.

You should be following the online activity of specific companies and their leaders too.

Make sure you’re following top journals, media, and reports of these industries

The information is there. Get on it and stay ahead of it, daily.

Don’t forget to follow venture capitalists and angel investors too; their actions can show you a lot about the direction of a company you’re interested in.

Learning about your industry means learning what the market is ready for – what it’s “asking” for.

Use this knowledge to predict the flow of any sector of industry until you find a good spot to jump in and find your place in it.

4 In-Demand Intellectual Property Positions For PhDs May 12, 2023

Show notes

Join Isaiah as takes an in-depth look at intellectual property careers that are great for PhDs

First Isaiah covers careers like Technology Transfer Officer, Patent Agent, Patent Examiner, and Scientific Consultant
Next, he covers each career in-depth and what the benefits of each role are to a PhD
Finally, he covers why these roles are such a great fit for PhDs

From This Week’s Show…

One Of The Highest-Paying And Rewarding Professional Career Tracks For PhDs Is In The Field Of Intellectual Property

A Technology Transfer Officer, or TTO for short, works with the process of transferring scientific findings from one organization to another for further development and commercialization.

PhDs are in high demand for these positions because companies need people that know the academic system well and have the background it takes to understand complex systems and technology.

TTOs help research findings and intellectual property pass from creators (such as universities and research institutions) to the public and private sectors.

You can find TTO positions at nonprofit organizations, startups, large companies, and most research universities.

The Transparency Market Research Group States That The Global Market Value Of The IP Industry Is Expected To Grow 12% Through 2030, Making Now The Perfect Time To Apply

The second IP role for PhDs is Patent Agent. Patent Agents often work in law offices or the legal department of large corporations.

They partner with inventors, researchers, and attorneys to evaluate invention technology, assess patentability, draft patent applications, and then analyze and respond to the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

Next the Patent Examiner role deals directly with a patent’s claims, working to determine the worth of these different claims.

These Patent Examiners, who are increasingly being called Patent analysts, decide whether or not there are objections to a patent’s claims and then help solve any objections in a collaborative way with the patent’s agents.

Usually, a patent examiner works in a government office.

Intellectual Property Lawyer Is One Of The Top 10% Highest Paying PhD-Level Positions

You’ll need to pass the patent bar exam or its equivalent in your country of employment.

The most common path for PhDs to become IP lawyers is to gain experience as patent agents and then have a company sponsor their law degree.

Next, IP Consultants, often called Scientific Consultants provide guidance on complex matters of innovation and research, they sometimes look to a consultant rather than hiring a new employee.

These consultants are independent agents who work with a variety of companies to offer advice, lead experiments, analyze data, and present information to a company’s employees.

Working as an IP Consultant can offer a chance to travel, learn new skills and work on a range of different innovative projects.

How To Kill Your LinkedIn Connections (Don’t Do This!) May 10, 2023

Show notes

Join Isaiah as he examines how to nurture professional networks and create a mutually beneficial relationship with your LinkedIn connections

In this week’s episode:

First, Isaiah explains that your LinkedIn connections are more than just a number on your profile – they’re people who can help you find the perfect position
Next, he breaks down talking points that will keep a conversation with your Linkedin connections from going stale
Finally, Isaiah shows PhDs how to steer their professional relationships toward useful informational interviews and even referrals

From This Week’s Show…

Your LinkedIn Connections Aren’t Just For Show, But These Relationships Need To Be Nurtured

You made a connection on LinkedIn that you’re excited about – great!

But… now what?

There’s much more to building relationships on LinkedIn than just making a connection.

Your network is just a list of names on a page if you’re clicking the “Connect” button and walking away.

These connections are relationships, and they need to be nurtured.

There Are Clues About What Your Connections Like On Their Profile. Look For Commonalities There

If you’re wondering how to carry a conversation forward with a connection after connecting, take the focus off yourself and put it on the other person.

For example, your new LinkedIn connection may have a job you would love to have or may work at a company you would love to work for, or both.

If that’s not the case, then scour their LinkedIn profile for other insights and things you may have in common.

Every contact’s LinkedIn profile is, by design, full of insights into their personality, career, and education.

So start there.

Focus On Adding Value In Your Conversations With LinkedIn Connections

Then move to other aspects like volunteering experience, Groups, and Top Voices you may have in common.

You might have connected with Ethan because he has the position you’re hoping to apply to, but what else has he shared about himself?

Does his account activity reveal anything that he cares about?

Does he have any contacts in common with you?

Do you share any interests with one another?

If you want your contacts on LinkedIn to engage with you, then you need to offer value.

There are different ways you can do this.

A compliment is a great place to start if you’re stumped, but you can also ask questions (just one, not a list of 10) about what they’re working on that they’re excited about or what skills they had to develop to get great at their job.

Asking one question per message is more likely to lead to a response than asking many questions or just making a statement.

Think of it as a game of pong.

You ask a question, they answer.

You ask a follow-up question that’s just a bit more detailed, they answer.

And so on.

Your questions should be thoughtful, tailored to your connection, and always more professionally intimate.
