My name is Elijah. I left academia for FAANG. Now I give PhDs execution plans with actionable steps to do the same. I don't need to sell you the why: it's obvious higher ed is broken. I do, however, want to impress upon you – regardless of where you're at – failing to plan is planning to fail. I didn't invent the steps, I just optimized and organized them into executable plans for you. I then broke them into 4 distinct stages along the critical path. Follow the path
