Re #aha22 jobs panel. I'm a #twitterstorian working outside of academia- a path I forged w/o help from my alma mater. There's a dearth of helpful advice for ppl being forced out of/choosing to leave academia. Here's what worked for me, what didn't, & what I wish I'd done sooner🧵 Caveats: I'm a cis straight white woman from a middle-class family. My background meant that if absolutely everything fell through, I could've moved back in with my parents (but like I was 29 so omg no thank u)
