anyone leave academia after postdoc and not regret it
I'm at the stage where another short-term contract sounds less romantic than it did at 27. I like research. I do not like moving cities for maybe-money and maybe-authorship every two years. Would love to hear from people who jumped to industry, policy, publishing, whatever, and how long it took to stop feeling like you "quit".
