I think it depends on the job one looks for. I had some colleagues that landed a job after their Ph.D. with no publication, but the company did not care about that either. If one intends to continue in academia, having publications would definitely help.
Looking forward sharing thoughts, dear colleagues :)
If you can yes. It proves to your PhD examiners (internal and external) that part of your research has been through peer review ad deemed worthy of publication. Depending on your institution, many ask you to bind copy(ies) of any published papers created during your thesis research
PhD’s tend to gather dust on shelves, published papers tend to be accessed more often. Employers, academic & industrial, tend to look favourable on publications
No, you have only one chance to write a PhD thesis, but many to publish in the future. A thesis is more detailed and creative than papers, so write a real thesis and publish later :)
This question was curious to me: it seems that it assumes that non-publishing option should be followed. I think that we, as researchers, publish because we create knowledge and it is created and developed in a collective way. Then, publishing is part of the participation in that shared and collective task.
Some institutions or jobs do not ask for that. But I think that if you publish, you win a lot in writing and scholar interchange, that would help in many academic tasks in your whole career. So, whay not pacticing it?
