My partner is a post doc with an Ivy League background. If I wasn’t in tech she would essentially be eating Ramen and living in a box to survive. The structure is such bullshit. Incentive to get a postdoc is super low IMO. You make 50k after 10+ years of training and publications and are treated like a second class citizen. They need to offer more money and better benefits with an actual path for growth.
