Matteo Tardelli needed mentoring in his new role after leaving academia, but soon learnt how to prioritize tasks and manage client expectations.
Moving into business after years of experience in academia was hard for Matteo Tardello, because he lacked industry experience.“Sorry, I can’t hear you. I think you’re on mute,” said my new manager, from his home office in North Carolina.
I quit academia and my second postdoc in 2021, joining a Chicago-based consultancy that provides research support to R&D and corporate clients, as a project manager and life-science consultant, that November.My core role is to ensure that deadlines are met across several projects and that data sets are delivered by means of polished presentations to my clients.
Project management was one skill that I had to learn on the go. PhD students are always being told that project management is one transferable skill that they already have. But that isn’t the entire truth, in my experience. Managing a single PhD project over several years can be very different from managing several commercial projects , hitting deadlines every other week.
