[quote=Anonymous]I'm a PhD new grad with 2 offers. None of them are ideal for me, but well, with the current job market, I should feel lucky for getting any. Offer 1: tenure-track assistant professor in a small town. It is a teaching focus university, so no research and funding pressure, and pretty easy to get tenured. The cons are not many young professionals and activities in town, it would be hard to meet new friends and date. Offer 2: research scientist in a healthcare institution in DC. The job relies on soft money, I have to keep publishing and maybe apply for funding in the future to secure my position. I have no idea about the job security atm. The salary is higher than offer 1 though. And DC is a more vibrant city to work in. I'd like to get some advice on career choice. Or if you have experience on any of the two positions, I'd like to hear you experience. Thank you! [/quote]
