Unsure about academic career

How would it feel if…

You could confidently navigate your career transition, knowing the exact steps to take to land your next role in academia or beyond?

No more hesitation, no more confusion—just clear direction and support to move forward with your goals. Instead of second-guessing your career path, you’re making informed decisions, getting the clarity you need to thrive in your academic journey.

But let me guess, right now you’re…

  • Feeling uncertain about your next career step after your postdoc.
  • Struggling to manage research, writing, and job applications all at once.
  • Constantly overwhelmed by the competitive nature of academia.
  • Putting off career planning because you don’t know where to start or how to juggle it all.

Here’s the truth…

Career transitions are challenging, but they don’t have to be overwhelming. It’s not about working harder; it’s about working smarter and strategically.

Your struggles aren’t because you’re not capable—they come from trying to navigate this complex stage of your career without clear guidance.

Hi, I’m Dominik

I help academics like you to build a self-directed career.

I’m a very happy university professor who has gone through a variety of disciplines: business, computer science, education science, psychology.

I know the difficulties of an academic career through my own academic career, as well as my academic research about the topic.

And I know that a solid academic career is possible without the usual struggle. And, most importantly, a career that is defined by your own terms.

I know this, as I have built it for myself and have taught numerous others to do the same.

Now I am excited about working with you!

Yours,
Dominik
