- Enterprise sales rep with a $500k-$1M annual quota (aka grants).
- R&D manager of a team comprised almost entirely of junior employees
- Lecturer and administration for teaching.
- Administrator & volunteer within the department, chair roles for key academic conferences, and editor on major journals -- all to check the "service" box for tenure.
- Because they aren't a proper CEO, they don't even have the ability to push back on obscene G&A costs (ie 50%+ of grant contracts going to university overhead!).
It's a labor of love (esp in STEM!), and I feel bad that many are caught in this morass.
