Throughout my Ph.D. I did not even remotely consider a non-academic path.
Obviously, some Ph.D. students are forced in the position of having to follow an academic path - I am thinking of my good friends with Ph.D.s in Comparative Literature or English Literature. These subjects are naturally harder to apply outside of the Academe (but not impossible - consider, for example, the Digital Humanities), and thus, for some Ph.D. students the academic track is really the only viable option. I was lucky to have some computational skills under my belt so a Plan B was always a career in a large corporation, in the industry, or a startup (my research was in network analysis, natural language processing, text analytics, bibliometrics). As some of you know, I ended up \href{https://www.authorea.com/users/3/articles/5287/_show_article}{leaving academia after a very successful postdoc} and creating the startup behind this blog post. But the question I would like to address today is: \textbf{What were my chances of getting an academic job at the of my postdoc?}
