Eventually, many academics face this possibility: leaving, quitting academia. Often, it is a decision fraught with much emotion, perceived as a threat to our identity, to our sense of self and pride. The uncertainty of our prospects in the outside world also fuels fears and doubt.

Among other things, we will discuss:
- The importance of movement and expanding your context.
- Understanding your leverage and the role of luck.
- The primacy of soft over hard skills: communication and empathy.
- Initiative: finding the right balance.
- Incentives and constraints: academia vs industry.
- Identity threat: who will you be moving forward?
