No worries. I’m currently a PhD student.

I haven’t really broken into the field. I do write but don’t consider it a strength, I do consider my verbal communication skills to be my strength.

I’ve just seen enough from the PhD students around me who are all struggling. We don’t see much hope in terms of employment. There are many generations of Masters/PhD students ahead of you who have just graduated and are looking for roles.

Not to say you shouldn’t do it, just know that it isn’t a guarantee that it’ll help you stand out. But you will gain new skills (hopefully) which could help you find a job.

I’ve seen some more technical roles come up where having a PhD would maybe make people consider you overqualified.
