SUMMARY:Workshop: Jake Anderson\, University of California\, Los Angeles\, "Transitioning to Industry: Tech Pathways for Academics"
DESCRIPTION:Description:\nJoin us for a session on navigating the transition from academia to industry\, specifically in tech roles. Led by Jake Anderson\, a CCPR trainee from the Economics department who has worked as a Data Science Manager and Senior Data Scientist in San Francisco\, this workshop will guide you through reframing academic projects and experience to highlight impact and value. We will discuss the typical tech interview process\, covering recruiter interactions\, technical screens\, and multi-stage interviews. Learn about the distinctions in interview focus across major tech firms like Amazon\, Facebook\, Uber and Google\, and explore the nuances of different roles\, job titles\, and career tracks. Attendees will gain insights into salary negotiations (including stock and bonuses)\, team matching\, and what to expect in the first few years in industry\, including performance evaluations and promotion pathways. This session is a must for those considering a career pivot into tech or looking to better understand the tech hiring landscape! \nOne recent candidate from a top 10 PhD program who got several industry offers wrote: “Marketing yourself effectively is crucial in tech\, yet this is a skill that many economists and other academics lack. Jake brings years of experience and understands how to translate between the academic and industry spaces. My resume got many compliments after Jake overhauled it\, and his guidance was critical for securing interviews and internships that ultimately converted into full-time offers. Jake has abundant knowledge on non-econ science roles that many tech economists are unfamiliar with. I highly recommend working with Jake.”
