If someone offered you a sum of money to quit your job today without another one to go to and you're not allowed to just go back to your current job, what's the least you'd take to do that?
What would you do after you quit? Why?
And if there's no amount, why?
Just curious. No judgement.
@raiderrobert Tough question. I somewhat like my job currently.
Working in research has a weird mix of up and downsides. I really like that "cutting edge" is often synonymous with "that's our baseline". We get to play with a lot of really cool stuff. On the other hand negotiating for contract renewal every year and hunting for the next bunch of funding... also the pay alone would definitely not be worth the stress.
So if somebody offered me enough money to do so, I'd have some interesting research ideas I'd like to work on. The problem with that is that it would require a lot of money.
