  1. I started to work on such a list when I had burn out in the middle of my PhD and wanted to quit When a couple of years later I realized academia wasn’t for me after all, having this list was so helpful For me, leaving academia feels like an *improvement*, not a failure @DinaPomeranz/1175815085282996225

      As I will defend my PhD soon and will have to make decisions for my future occupation, this list is even more helpful these days. Funny things is it keeps evolving as I learn more stuff every day about the jobs I have on it.

        It doesn’t feel like a race at all. It feels as a journey, an adventure where my goal is to find a good enough* job/position/career considering what I want in my life. *I don’t look for perfection, because it can be extremely challenging, including psychological.
