For me personally yes it has. I’m leaving my academic position for industry this year. (Technically I’m “on leave” for a year but I am not going to come back barring something insane happening.) For anyone else in my shoes considering the move, I will say that while money isn’t everything I am going to very nearly quadruple my salary by going into industry. I know I’ll have a boss and more boring meetings than I have now, but I am not convinced that I’m going to work more hours.
