| Aug 10, 2016 at 12:28 | comment | added | xLeitix | @MassimoOrtolano I think this discussion mainly shows that it's not easy to decide what is a "perk" and what is just an expected benefit of the job. For instance, I would not consider academic freedom a "perk" per se either. It's part of the job, and I would not consider a position without academic freedom a professorship in the usual sense. | |
