It's been 6 months since I made the transition from academia (postdoc) to industry (extension scientist).
I know many academics are curious about this, so here's a thread of my experiences so far:
One big change is having known expectations. They expect a lot, but it's all laid out and it feels achievable.
Not like the "just be in the top 2% for everything and you still won't be achieving enough" expectation in academia

Such a cool find on my balcony: mud dauber nests CHOCK-FULL of paralysed spiders to feed the wasp larvae inside!
In the 4 nests there were 48 spiders!!
This is what the nests looked like when I found them (they were built into a cushion)
