Professors are leaving their jobs in droves.

Several students of mine that have left academia to pursue a fulfilling career in industry have cited toxic working conditions including:
1. Being underpaid 50% below industry
2. No control over teaching load with 70+ hour work weeks
3. Stress & mental health burnout
4. No support from academic leadership

He started my R-Track program.
Within 6-months he transitioned from academia to Lead Data Scientist at Northwestern Mutual ($150K+ salary + benefits).

I talk with him weekly (he's on my M6 forecasting team).

He deserves all of the success he's getting. He's super talented.
