My experience in FAANG research, outside of the pay > 100x multiplier, has been very different! In grad school we could work from anywhere at anytime, there was no requirement to be glued to a desk 14 hours a day and having to respond to emails on Friday nights or weekends or risk a bad performance review from your manager, no dystopian open office space, unlimited conference travel flexibility, etc. I actually kind of miss grad school despite having made 30K a year as a PhD student.

- albutr 7y agoI think it's pretty typical, at least in physics. Every offer I had/that I have heard of was around 30k, I've only heard of one that was around ~24k iirc
- frickinLasers 7y agoYep, STEM majors do relatively well.
- newen 7y agoYep, my experience was similar to yours and I miss grad school due to that flexibility. I don't know where else to find such flexibility while getting paid decently.
