How to jump out of academic to industry companies, like IT companies, banks, etc.
Although cloud computing is popular, but my area is a little different. So I finally got a research paper (contract) at a university not so good, the pay is good. But what I really want to jump from academia to industry companies, including IT companies, banks, etc.
The problem is that although I am a doctor, I really do not have good programming skills. To be a junior software engineer I have yet to compete with other new graduates who should be much younger than me. For high-level work (any IT related) I have no commercial exp. It's a little dilemma.
Have it your way
They give you about how your mind works the same skills. Any person with a Ph.D. has a logical mind and can solve the problem.
My son has a PhD in Polymer and got a job in IT for a major bank in Britain. Do not expect to get a job supervisor. You have to prove your worth. Go for it.
You'll have to pay their dues until they acquire some knowledge of computer programming - if that is the area to enter. A good number of computer science R & D is not developing code - so it could pursue those.
And I hate to say it, but Comp Science PhD graduates do not always make the biggest developers - I've worked with a few, and that made way more complex solution than necessary.
I suggest also contacted several recruiters and they have to find work for you - some are quite good in specialized positions.
