You are welcome. > Do you think navigating politics is easier in academia than in the private financial sector? I assume there will be some level of politics everywhere. I have friends who have told me sad stories about things they've seen in academia, so I know it can get ugly there too. None that compare to what I've seen in the financial world though. Not even close. I can't get into that stuff here though. But more importantly, it's critical to my mental health that I leave and do something else. So that's what I'm doing.
