(Full disclosure - I studied with both of them.) They provide a marvelous set of insights that grew from hallway conversation to informal document to publishable tome. Not all of their advice will apply to every situation - for instance, they say never to change jobs while you're still working on your dissertation, as the new employer will likely not support you as well as they might, and the new colleagues will have reasonable expectations for your engagement in your new employ. But this depends on that new employer - so while one can sometimes safely decline to heed their advice, it still provides fodder for discussion with the new employer and colleagues.Their advise covers a wide range of topics, from getting the Ph.D. and writing the dissertation to the job hunt, interviewing, making a contribution, getting published, and getting promoted. While Ph.D. programs prepare you for the process of research and your specific disciplinary knowledge, they rarely provide insight into the life of an academic. Gray and Drew do that with depth, breadth, good humor and with the insights of two lifetimes of teaching and research experience.I highly recommend this book to any Ph.D. student and to any new or even not so new academic! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for PhD *by Q***O on Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2020* I like how this book gives advice. It directly tells graduate students what to do and what not to do. I love it! ### ⭐⭐ 2.0 out of 5 stars Tell me something I don't know *by H***E on Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2013* Perhaps, if I were an apple-cheeked college freshman thinking about one day going to graduate school, this book might have been slightly useful, but anyone who has been in graduate school (or even high school) for a just few months already knows pretty much everything there is to be gleaned from this insultingly basic book. For some examples: Secret tip #114: Don't plagiarize. Secret tip #214: Use spell-check. Secret tip #115: Make backups of your files. Secret tip #193: Go to conferences. Secret tip #37: Write a résumé. Secret tip #18: Finding a dissertation topic is hard. Apparently, the real lesson to be learned from this book is: if you're a professor, forget research in your field: writing overpriced, sub-mediocre guidebooks is easier and far more lucrative. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/12877034-what-they-didnt-teach-you-in-graduate-school-299-helpful](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/12877034-what-they-didnt-teach-you-in-graduate-school-299-helpful) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-05-15*
