The title of the post is extremely misleading.
The author of this post graduated from an undergraduate program in 2018. By "transitioned from academia", the author means "graduated with a B.S. (after a few research-y summer internships) and got a job".
That first job is always an accomplishment, but in this cae was definitely not a "transition from academia" in the usual sense.
As a result, the post generally contains irrelevant advice for people actually transitioning (i.e., professors, post-docs, and late-stage graduate students).
