[quote=Anonymous]Sorry OP. It's a tough situation. A lot of people are not aware that even good R1s pay really low salaries to tenured faculty (across the board, even in STEM).

Is it possible for you to get in touch with alumni from your PhD program? I would start connecting with people on LinkedIn and seeing where they ended up. The market (as a whole) is not really great now, and I think a referral could help. Or at least, it could help you understand your options. You might want to pay someone to review your resume and help you prep for interviews.

Maybe this is a controversial take. I don't think the tuition benefits are a super compelling reason to stay. Most likely, if your salary is not great anyway, your kids could qualify for need-based aid. There are so many ways they could minimize their debt (that I won't go into). Conversely, maybe your kids will want to go elsewhere for their degree...
But I don't know their ages, and whether this has been discussed with them already.
