Academics struggle to navigate career advancement in European/UK systems without clear, region-specific guidance

Early-career researchers and PhD students in Europe and the UK lack accessible, practical guidance on how to succeed in their regional academic systems, which differ significantly from US academia. Existing resources like 'Good Work If You Can Get It' focus on American academia, leaving European academics without culturally-relevant mentorship on funding, hiring practices, and career progression. This knowledge gap forces them to learn through trial-and-error or informal networks, wasting years and missing critical opportunities.
