Hi,
I'm an ECR on a 9 month temporary research post. I have a couple of publications but never applied for grants. I've been offered a post outside of academia in a non-research post. Pay is better and it's a permenant role, and will give me the security I really want (want to get a mortgage and get on the property ladder etc). Yet I feel like I'll miss the academic rigorous work. I really enjoy research methods, critical appraisal skills, reviewing etc. The new job is also in a completely different field to what I thought I'd be working in, but does have plenty of opportunities/jobs in it.
What would you do? Any advice please?
