Re:Ask HN: Would you give up 100% more salary as a junior SW... by makedecisions on Sunday January 16, 2022 @01:08PM (#29958315)
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts! I know that you are right: I can always quit the PhD in the future. But realistically, it's pretty difficult to get an offer from one of the bigger tech companies with high salary as a Junior. So it's FOMO for both options and unfortunately I can't split myself in half. Painful to think about the opportunity costs the PhD has, but also painful to feel like giving up on the opportunity to gain more knowledge.
