Working in Academia was more satisfying in many ways than working in startups. Most of the people who work in research were smart, well informed, and enjoy their work (Elizabeth and I thought this was because the pay was half that of the private sector, so anyone who doesn’t like it gets a job there elsewhere).
I really enjoyed working in the Bioinformatics Dept. and had great coworkers. This was the first time in all my career when I could truly say that I enjoyed everyone I worked with.
Seminars were particularly enjoyable and it was always easy to find people talking passionately about things they love.
