      My experience with Cheeky Scientist has been great. It is wonderful to have a network and community who understands what it is like to get a PhD, and the unique challenges that PhDs face in the workplace and academia. Isaiah and Meera are both so smart, energetic and wise, they set a very positive and empowering culture in the community. For the price, it is well worth having this unique community and the expert job search help.

      I got 2 offers with Cheeky Scientist. I turned down one of the final round interviews for a third company after receiving two job offers. Through the negotiation process, I was able to boost my salary by 10%, and I accepted the offer three days later. Cheeky Scientist helped me change my mindset and that mattered most. Their methodology worked.

      As a long-time PhD graduate struggling to transition from academia to industry and to find a job in general, I was thrilled to discover Cheeky Scientist. This incredible organization has been an invaluable resource in my job search and career development.
      Cheeky Scientist provides PhD graduates with countless tools, training, and connections needed to successfully navigate the job market outside of academia. Through their resume writing and interview prep services, I was able to craft a compelling resume and online profile (LinkedIn, as an example) tailored for industry roles and learn how to effectively communicate my academic and professional experience. Their workshops on networking taught me how to expand my professional network and approach informational interviews.
      But perhaps most importantly, Cheeky Scientist offers mentorship programs that pair PhD graduates with experienced individuals in their target field. As part of this program, I was matched with an incredible mentor who helped me refine my job search strategy, practice interviewing, and gain critical insights about corporate culture. Their guidance and support gave me the confidence I needed to pursue roles I may have not considered previously.
      Thanks to Cheeky Scientist, I secured a fulfilling career that aligns with my interests and utilizes the skills I honed during my PhD training. The transition from academia to industry can be incredibly challenging, but this organization provided me with the resources and community I needed to make it successfully.
      I cannot recommend Cheeky Scientist enough to PhD graduates seeking careers outside of academia. Their commitment to supporting the professional development of doctoral recipients is truly unmatched. This organization played an invaluable role in helping launch my career. Cheeky Scientist is making an important impact, and I enthusiastically encourage all PhD graduates exploring careers in industry to connect with this fantastic organization.

      Cheeky Scientist helped me get hired into industry and I'm very thankful for their support. Before I got hired into my first job, I was uploading hundreds of resumes and not getting anywhere. The materials they gave me and the community support changed everything and I've been promoted several times in industry since. I love the people in the company's Association and will always stay in touch.

      Just had a first sales call with someone in the sales team. One Ryan Metcalfe. Extremely high pressure sales pitch, drawing with a sharp knife in your own insecurities. Thankfully I didn't fall for it. They even did the classic: there is only 4 seats left, and won't be there tomorrow thing. If just the first meeting is so desperate to get enrolled, I just don't want to be with anyone who is associated with that kinda vibes which left my soul crying at the end of 30 mins call.

      The power of the Cheeky Scientist greatly helped me to get hired in industry. I went through all the business modules and I learned new things each time. I presented my knowledge about the position to interviewers and they were really impressed. This program saved me months, if not years of research. A job search is a difficult process, and it’s even more difficult when you are not equipped with the right resources. This program helped me at every step of the way (pre-, during and post-interview). Being a Diamond member provided me with the ability to gain confidence and speak like an industry professional, ultimately getting hired into a medicinal chemistry role.

      I recently made the a huge mistake of signing up for their $3000. I don't know what they actually offer or whether it is worth it but the sign up process was manipulative and they were aggressively pushing me to enroll during the call itself, and I unfortunately caved. The moment I got off the call, I realized my mistake so I emailed and texted them to cancel. They stopped responding to me completely. Turns out they take a loan in your name from Affirm. Luckily I was able to explain my situation to Affirm and they agreed to cancel the loan. The fact that they stopped responding and wouldn't let me cancel after a few minutes after signing up makes me think they are a scam. They cater to a group that is highly qualified. These people will get jobs sooner or later with or without their help. Whatever their service is, I don't think it is worth it. The videos they have sent me is all just generic stuff.

      Very pushy sales tactics, overpromising and underdelivering on almost everything. Once you join they do not respond very much. Almost zero networking opportunities like they promised. This company is more or less a scam. Avoid this place. It should be shut down by the state. They take advantage of people.

      I’m AMAZED at all the people I found at Cheeky Scientist. I love the content they put out helping PhDs to get hired. I just read their guide on all the careers for PhDs and it got me excited about what’s possible. There are so many success stories from real PhDs - it’s so inspiring. I wanted to write here to say thank you to them because they’ve changed my experience and I know they’re doing the same for many PhDs around the world.
