Hi! I recently finished a PhD in A&H. Along the way, I worked on grant writing. In academia, a proposal goes to a public agency and decisions take months.
I am now looking for jobs in the private sector, saw how RFPs can be like academic grants 10x faster and clearer. But, I find that companies are like "academic background? Why you want to work here?" So, I designed an online portfolio:

I'd love honest opinions whether something like this can help me transitioning to the private. Thanks!

I’m quitting my job tomorrow morning. I don’t have a new job lined up. I’m scared, but also excited? I’ve felt under utilized for months, and haven’t had a promotion after two years. I never take risks like this, but life is too short. Is this a bad choice?

Anyone struggling with imposter syndrome? When I worked for a very well known Fortune500 tech company I couldn't help but feel major imposter syndrome. One- I am a woman in a male dominated industry, I didn't go to a prestigious school like most of my peers and I just didn't think I deserved to be there. Everyday was a struggle and tried to keep myself small so no one would find out I was a "fraud." Looking back on it now, wiser and more experienced, I realized how detrimental feeling that way
