PhD to industry resume: cut the publication list (mostly)
2026-06-12 · 4 min read

**Keep** Applied impact, tools, collaboration with eng/product, internships.
**Move** Full publication list to appendix or LinkedIn; cite 1–2 if directly relevant.
Translate research as engineering outcomes—latency, scale, experimentation velocity.
