Replying to @eigenrobot
I'm nervous about transitioning to industry after a decade of marketing myself towards the academy. My cv is mostly fellowships, conferences, papers, &c. Luckily, I refocused my dissertation focus to be on flooding risk/cost/infrastructure about this time last year.

The good news is that if you know what you're doing even a little bit the requirements for getting a tech job are not onerous Write competent SQL, be able to explain a p value in plain English, have good intuition around the tools you're likely to use.
