| Jun 18, 2021 at 19:06 | comment | added | dearN | @dusa good luck! I wish you a good career. It is possible to make a good career in teaching but for that you must look to teaching oriented universities instead of R1/R2 research oriented universities.. I am doing that now. | |
| Jun 17, 2021 at 18:11 | comment | added | dusa | @dearN I really appreciate the honesty and your time to reply to this, particularly since I made so many mistakes because I was not guided well (phd and post doc). Really hate how academy works. I actually like teaching, and it seems stable over a post doc but not ready to say bye to research, not sure what future holds. Thanks! | |
| Jun 17, 2021 at 14:06 | comment | added | dearN | @dusa... update: still in teaching track. Universities are extremely parochial. It is very very very difficult to break into the research track, from a teaching track (STEM at least). as far as I am concerned, my career is set in stone now, whether I like it or not. Treating it like a paycheck. | |

| Sep 21, 2018 at 16:12 | comment | added | dearN | As an updated, it is not going well! I have succeeded in teaching and establishing a small research "plan" for myself but besides that, I am getting rejected left, right and center with respect to job applications. | |

| Sep 13, 2015 at 0:34 | comment | added | paul garrett | It is true that working any sort of substantial full-time job leaves one with little energy to undertake another essentially full-time activity after-hours. I fear no reasonable strategy can overcome this, especially when one's CV shows the arc one is on. It's hard to catch up to people who've (through luck or whatever) gotten a big head start at some point. | |
| Sep 12, 2015 at 22:13 | comment | added | dearN | @paulgarrett So I would assume too... but then there are always those who just might have done that (or something equally outlandish). So I thought I should include any "thought" or "strategy" I can think of, however poor or great. | |
