When people ask you for YOE, do you include your time in grad school at all? I feel like writing that you have 2 YOE when you’re 30 years old gives a warped sense of level and compensation.

If you had a research role, you should definitely calculate the time you spent in those appointments and add it to your FT work experience (though be prepared for someone to say 6 years of PT GRA work will count as 3 years in some companies). Counting degree time holistically seems inappropriate though.

No. While unfair, a PhD is considered training, not job experience. A postdoc counts though

I finished my PhD Last month but I finished my MBA in 2012. So I count my experience since 2012

I worked since 2014 ( finished PhD coursework and then started working). Thanks
