This. In my darkest moments over my many years on the job market was the hardest thing to accept about possibly leaving academia. 1/2 https://twitter.com/mikers86/status/1142845323750105090 …

In my last year, I came to terms with it and accepted that people would still be my friends, still respect my work, still think of me as a scholar even if I didn’t have an academic job. 2/2

I’m on the other side of this. *Some* people will. But they are the ones that matter. Many people you will lose contact with, but it hasn’t been a huge loss for me. Some people will feel guilty and avoid you though - but that’s really on them.

I hear you and that’s what I told myself, too. It was also hard not to feel like I was letting down my advisors and committee, everyone who ever wrote in support of me, and my family. I think we have to remove the personal blame and shame from this situation.

I don’t feel personal shame anymore. I feel some (ok, at times a lot of) bitterness and resentment and disappointment in a few people in particular. But I don’t feel like I personally failed.

It took me a while to understand that this was structural and not personal even though the rejections felt personal, espyafter campus visits. I’m glad you were able to see that sooner. It also doesn’t help that post-PhD life can be very isolating.

I would say that a lot of it is structural, but not all. When you are up for a TT at a school where you’ve been teaching for 2 years with great evals and they choose someone else...that is personal.

I guess what I’m saying is it’s ok to be bitter and resentful. I think it’s healthy to find others in same boat. Especially people whose work you admire. This happens to most of us now, even really fantastic scholars and teachers. Seeing what is possible after is helpful.

Agreed.
