2. Try to get up to speed on industry tooling. Look at new hire requirements for jobs that might fit your skills. Use these tools in your academic work where you can to build fluency or at least proficiency.

4. Remember that your job is escaping rather than graduating per se. Graduate if it will actually help; there are some job classes that want a PhD. But this is not the academic job market and credentials typically don't matter so much once you get established.
