yup. deeply regret my time as a postdoc. especially the last few years in the pandemic have been the absolute worst work experience in terms of culture and job satisfaction. it's killed the passion for research i had at the start. the worst part is that i think this experience has completely tanked my confidence. now id take a jr python dev job in a second.
