Morgan’s Answer

Hi Bhavan,

I can give you a couple examples of research-forward career paths.

1. Academic research: if you wanted to pursue a more technical area of research expertise, you could stay in academia, getting your PhD, and becoming a professor who spends some or most of their time on research. This is a great option for harder sciences like chemistry, biology, physics, etc. Psychology too!

2. R&D at a technical firm: If you get through schooling and decide academia isn't for you, there are Research & Development roles at engineering and science-based companies (think: drug discovery, materials for things like consumer goods or electronics, etc).

3. Market research: Most companies have roles dedicated to market and/or consumer research. Market researchers try to understand the market, competitive landscape, buyer behavior and preferences, etc. to inform marketing and product strategies for the company.

4. UX research: For companies that sell physical or digital products, user experience research is becoming more common. UX researchers will try to understand how customers experience the product (how they discover it, how they use it, satisfaction, etc) to inform what the company builds (especially common with software products).
