@jessie are they hiring for anything else? 😭

@jessie that would almost tempt me back to the UK, especially with a non-London option. But the fixed length contract would make me wonder "what next..." and sadly a post-Brexit UK holds less appeal as a long term option

@jessie ...no mention of remote or hybrid on the listing?

@jessie That's a disappointing salary range, considering the scope and importance. BUT it's an exciting position. Hmm...

@jessie Given recent history i suspect being really into security may be higher on their priorities than being really into books 😏

@jessie web developer? I have a friend with 8 legs, 4 eyes, and a few hundred kids to feed that would be perfect for this. Though most of her experience in the pest control Industry.

@jessie for that job, in London, that salary is laughably low.

@jessie Christ, that’s an insultingly low salary for a position of that responsibility in London. And a non-permanent contract to boot?

@awfulwoman @jessie that’s about right for public sector IME.

@boffbowsh @jessie Really? God, that's terrible.

@boffbowsh @jessie @awfulwoman more than we make in academia.

@awfulwoman @jessie you have to want to do it and be able to do it. I’d go back to it once the mortgage is paid off.

@awfulwoman @jessie pension is *excellent* though

@jessie my dream job!
