I was in academics for 20 years, and was a full Professor of Medicine with Tenure.

5 years ago I left for a large private GI group.

People often ask me about pros and cons of both worlds.

Here are my top tips to consider.

I see this tension in job searches all the time: strategy vs. pride, fit vs. aspiration. Resume that tells the entire career history vs. one that gives a concise, digestible message.

Curious—how would you play it?

10/10

[Amy L. Adler @AmyLAdler]

What do you think—should candidates aim lower for strategy, or hold the line at their level?
9/10

[Amy L. Adler @AmyLAdler]

The right career story unlocks the right doors.
The wrong story leaves you stuck outside—even if your résumé is flawless.
8/10

[Amy L. Adler @AmyLAdler]

If the job you're applying to feels aligned—because it supports your career vision—share the right story, not the whole story.
7/10

[Amy L. Adler @AmyLAdler]

If tailoring feels like swallowing pride, you’re chasing the wrong job at the wrong level.
6/10

[Amy L. Adler @AmyLAdler]

Here’s what this reminded me about careers, hiring, and storytelling:

Brilliant candidates get skipped when they look overqualified. Hiring teams prefer obvious best fits.
4/10

[Amy L. Adler @AmyLAdler]

My job wasn’t to argue.

My job was to reshape the story—tone it down, fit the strategy. Results TBD.
3/10

[Amy L. Adler @AmyLAdler]

The twist?

They were applying for lower-level roles at bigger companies. Their choice.
2/10

[Amy L. Adler @AmyLAdler]

I worked with a C-suite leader whose background was flawless.

The kind of person you could drop in a forest at 10am—by dinner, they’d have a 6-course meal and 12 guests.

@InterviewsChat As is strategic interviewing!

[Amy L. Adler @AmyLAdler]

Unpopular truth: your job search only succeeds when you influence it. Stop flailing. Start aiming. 5/5

[Amy L. Adler @AmyLAdler]

Networking isn’t a suggestion. It’s the engine that turns job seekers into credible candidates. 4/5

[Amy L. Adler @AmyLAdler]

Chasing “perfect” jobs isn’t the trap. Only applying online is. Nobody ever hired a resume, so go be the candidate your ideal hiring team actually wants to meet. 3/5

[Amy L. Adler @AmyLAdler]

A resume that’s all fluff, vague KPIs, and empty claims is a lonely path to nowhere. The good news: it can be rebuilt. 2/5

[Amy L. Adler @AmyLAdler]

Yes, the economy matters. Yes, job postings vanish overnight. Complaining won’t open doors, but it will erode your brand. Focus where you can actually move the needle: Your resume, your approach, your communication. 1/5

How does a toxic workplace affect you? For many, it’s the panic that starts even before the workday begins. If this resonates, it’s time to ask: Is this sustainable? What steps can you take to protect yourself and reclaim your peace of mind?
