It’s almost here!

If you have a PhD and are still in academia or you're already in industry but wondering what your next move looks like — this is where you start.

Career Compass maps your background to real roles across the full universe of life science careers. Not just "go into industry" — but startup scientist, business development, consulting, VC, regulatory affairs, patent law, medical writing, and more. 

Here's what it does:

• 🧭 Map your career paths — find your best-fit roles across the full universe of life science careers, with an honest assessment of fit, what you'd need to get there, and the type of company that actually hires for it

• 📄 Build your candidate brief — a one-page professional brief tailored to the specific stage and type of company you're targeting, because a Series A oncology startup needs something very different from a large pharma or a VC fund

• 🔬 Translate your academic experience — turn your research, projects, and responsibilities into industry language, without inflating anything or stuffing in keywords you can't back up

• 📊 Track your industry readiness — get a score that shows how prepared you are for the transition, and what to focus on next

• 💼 Job Board — browse roles posted by other Career Compass members, track your applications, and use Cici to check your fit on any role before you apply

• 🤖 Cici, your AI career advisor trained by me — ask anything about your transition, your target roles, or how to position yourself, and get answers grounded in real sector knowledge

It was built by someone who made this transition, has worked on both sides of the hiring table, and has spent years helping researchers figure out where they fit — and how to get there.
