Uni's have a hard time hiring, so you'd be surprised. If you can show equivalent industry experience then they'd probably love to have you as most universities are full of ex-grads. They really appreciate industry experience. But just my personal experience here, because I didn't go to university I was not ready for the bureaucracy and inefficiency, I had to leave. In industry it's usually high pressure, get things done fast. At the university it was high pressure but slow as molasses, working through processes and finding the humans you need to do their parts of the process, then convincing them to actually do it.
