It might be better for you to take the hit now and land a junior job and progress from that than continue to wait for the perfect job to arrive.

- joe_the_user 6y agoA job being "too junior" for someone often means they can't get it even if they want it - the organization is looking for someone with little experience who is presumably young and can rise through the ranks.

- gww 6y agoI have already done the post-doc part. It was so painful that I really don't want to do a second one. There's that glass ceiling in academia when it comes to respect and salary they is very hard to break through without being promoted to a full PI and given your own lab.
