Unless you can find something very niche that you’re phd is directly relevant to you’re going to be looking at entry level jobs and salaries given your lack of work experience.

Any large company would start a PhD directly at the engineer II level without question.

Source: trust me bro

Source: Worked at 3 large firms and it was common practice for a masters degree to count as 1 year of experience and a PhD 2 years. Do you seriously believe firms don’t factor it in at all?

In australia they don’t factor it in at all

Can confirm many geotech firms in the US dont factor in a PhD as well. Straight to the salt mines..

Can confirm that elsewhere in the world you'd be treated as a Graduate Engineer.

Which is the equivalent of stsrting at like $5k - $8k more in salary. Not exacting a huge sum for an extra 6 years of study and foregone pay.

I wouldn’t

Good for you?

Thank you

Who are you ?? 🤣

I’m him

Thanks mate. So is there any worth of completing a phd if you are planning to join industry

You get to put PhD after your name which is sick

So fucking sick

The sickest

Most sick

Yes, in 10-15 years when you have the work experience AND the Phd after your name it’s pretty baller
