      abstract = {This book is a guide to non-academic careers for  quantitative social scientists. Written by social science  PhDs working in large corporations, non-profits, tech  startups, and alt-academic positions in higher education,  this book consists of more than a dozen chapters on various  topics on finding rewarding careers outside the academy.  Chapters are organized in three parts. Part I provides an  introduction to the types of jobs available to social  science PhDs, where those jobs can be found, and what the  work looks like in those positions. Part II creates a guide  for social science PhDs on how to set themselves up for  such careers, including navigating the academic world of  graduate school while contemplating non-academic options,  and selling their academic experience in a non-academic  setting. Part III offers perspectives on timelines for  making non-academic career decisions, lifestyle differences  between academia and non-academic jobs, and additional  resources for those considering a non-academic route.  Providing valuable insight on non-academic careers from  those who have successfully made the transition, this  volume will be an asset to graduate students, advisors, and  recent PhDs, in quantitative social science. .},
