Hi - I have donations given to Team Everest for Nov 2021 with receipt. But IBM AskHR says no support for donations tax exemption on Form 16. Thus, the donation isn't deducted on my Form 16. Can I now update the donation directly on E-filing.gov u/s 80G for exemption or will that cause an issue ? IBM

Teaching vs practicing
Why on earth do you think you know my professional experience? I'm not mentioning a hypothetical situation. I'm qualified to accept any of those offers. Not my problem if you can't make up your mind about people being professionally skilled and having a relevant academic record at the same time.
Tenure? Right away? Or You mean tenure track assistant professor?
Here’s my thought, if you can make your name in research, considering you are going at a top research school, you can come to Google anytime and ask them as much as want! A lot of professors are doing that these days! But going from Google to Academia, hmm, I have not seen anyone!
Ooof that’s a toughy I’d imagine Google pays more and may be more exciting? You could pick Google and Adjunct on the side? If you value a slower paced environment and Academia then choose the tenure. If your younger I’d say Google cause you can always get the “teacher fix” through mentorship and management opportunities. Both come with job security , an excellent problem to have, Congrats either way ☺️
Yes! It's a tough choice! I'm working in academia for 8 years but most of my research is applied (enterprise/new tech). Both positions are in the same field/expertise. Getting the professorship would get me more funding opportunities (than I have now as a sub-class post-doc) and I can keep all my current contacts/research projects. Google can give me access to a better lifestyle (compensation). I am a mother (toddler), and I want to have one more child in 2-3 years. I feel anxious about who would I become in terms of focus/productivity. I'm a very committed person (easily exploitable), and I do need people to respect my time/well-being. I don't feel burnout fits my life anymore. I wouldn't blink about a google opportunity a few years ago. I need to figure this out this week, so I decided to ask here. I think that WLB is the main thing, and outreach opportunity at google. I imagine if I go up (it's a research position) I could open so many opportunities for research funding/programs at google. What I love the most about research freedom and mentoring is breaking barriers and opening doors, I would be happy in any role that would allow me to do it (academic or enterprise):
Academia first. Get tenured, which can be very competitive but if you believe you can get it, great. Then go to Google thereafter. You can always go back to academia if you want I think. Just confirm that this is possible.
With these benefits and your valuing Wlb I'd say tenure track all the way. No guarantees with Google how your Wlb will be and all the reorgs that constantly happen
