"""Our survey, for example, shows that one-third of respondents do not have useful conversations about careers with their PhD supervisors."""
I remember speaking once with a few professors about what their work was like in industry. I was caught off guard when I was told they never worked in industry and had their whole careers in academia. Silly assumption on my part of course, but it was jarring nonetheless to be told so much point blank. It really put into perspective for me the angle at which advice was coming from.
