Definitely not for STEM academia. I was making decent money in academia as a researcher at a university. Had many jobs in academia paying >100k. Left because I can make 400k+ in industry as an experienced software engineer though.

So weird, I worked in academia as an AI and computational perception researcher, and in quantum computing as a researcher and it is absolutely fine.
These posts about AI are ridiculous. We are absolutely no where close to AGI.

You would be completely wrong. Software engineers aren't going to be replaced by AI. At least not decent ones.
I've been a software engineer, AI researcher (autonomous sensing and computational perception), and worked in quantum computing.

Eh I wouldn't consider $51.50 an hour valuing my free time. Mental, physical, and emotional health is worth way more than tha.

I would tell them to fuck off if they wanted me to work OT or weekends. My free time is way more valuable than that

No, if they died later they definitely didn't die in combat on the western front. That's not how space and time work. Were they casualties of war, absolutely, of course they were.

How? The companies that can pay 400k+ for engineers make a lot of profit. The fact that academia can pay 150k+ for pure scientific endeavor is pretty great. That's multiple times mroe than the average salary in the united states.
