| Mar 13 at 21:00 | comment | added | user185461 | I don't see why you would assume the 'ostensibly permanent' part, neither the 'few month' part. All I'm saying is that from a monetary perspective I am not dependent on this current post-doc, and that I would like to pursue another (assuming I find one which meets my standards). I think the backstory is very relevant; I thought it was obvious I am looking for guidance and perspective on my situation, which I have no access to other than the SE hivemind. I don't believe my situation can be summarized as "can I find another post-doc if I quit my current one for a temp industry position?". | |
| Mar 13 at 20:39 | comment | added | cag51♦ | So it seems like your real question is quite different, and mostly independent of the backstory: you want to know if you'll be in a weaker position applying for post-docs if you take an ostensibly permanent industry position for a few months while you continue your search. You might consider making a new post with this question. | |
| Mar 13 at 14:28 | comment | added | user185461 | I appreciate your input. I should've mentioned that option 1 is a temporary backup plan that would buy me time to look for a different post-doc, hence my doubts. I'll reword the question to clarify my intent. | |
