One can choose another path at any time and perhaps, get back on this path later in life. The reality is that each change is a new level with new conditions, questions, and challenges. The most effective way to make the transition is to build a network of mentors, sponsors (individuals when you leave the room got your back and will connect you to an opportunity), collaborators, and allies along the way to meet these new rank-appropriate needs. At the same token, as one elevates to new ranks, it’s critically important to mentor those below you and lift others as one rises. As the tables turn, once elevated, we will become the mentors and sponsors for our peers and next generations. That's apart of the life cycle of these intersecting worlds.

Need to hit the ground running once on tenure track #ysc2016

Once you get a tenure-job: front-load your research portfolio. In other word, be ready to go, submit grants and submit publications.
When you go out in the academic marketplace: you are being considered a scholar in your OWN right! #ysc2016
