Does YoE include PhD time?
So I got a PhD after X years and then moved to a related industry for Y years. What's my YoE, Y or X+Y?
Depends on what you did in your PhD. Some people pulls of pretty significant complex projects and open sources as part of thesis. Then you can write down your PhD time as experience in software development as well.
Y years unless you worked on a publicly facing product that you shipped and supported with a team of at least 4 or more people for several years as part of your academic experience.
No.
No. It's only Y.
No
Bargaining stage lol
Lolll nooo you ducked up didn't you
Why would you even think your PhD years matter in industry?? Working on your thesis alone for a few years doesn’t matter much to industry.
It usually counts towards 3-4 years of industry experience.
Probably with some discount of X unless your PhD is directly relevant to the area you’re working on
