I know we talk about PL job being hard, but it can also be really fun. Hard to find other places where you get the same level of super smart and dedicated ppl working for you. But just my two cents. For me it was much more fun than the C job once I got the hang of it

I’ve definitely thought about it. Had a pretty successful and happy academic career before consulting. I really miss doing science

The part I don’t want to give up is geographic independence. You don’t get a lot of say on where you land a professor job Plus, it’s impossible to predict if you’re going to get stuck in a toxic department for the rest of you’re life

Most law firms are toxic. If I'm working for for-profit clients, I'd rather be here. Better people and more personally interesting work at a similar salary.

Does PL stand for project lead?

I was... before covid. I find consulting too fluffy for my taste

PSA - We are headed into a self-imposed economic slow down. Now is not the time to lateral but if you do, I would make sure you are at a recession-proof practice or firm. The top law firms will be okay (they always are) but if you are part of a larger group of associates with no work, you are likely to be axed. Latham did it in the 2008 and 2011 and it will happen again. If you are an associate or really anyone but a rainmaker, you are expendable.

A friend is considering deferring an offer (stem PhD) for 1 year straight out of undergrad to work in NY, either in a research institution or a biotech. She does not have any real work experience outside of her lab (3 years) and an adjacent internship. Another factor is she is just generally feeling burnt out on school after the last few years.
To what extent did you find that a year or two of work impacts prospects coming out of PhD? How might a year off from school impact her PhD work itself?
