A wise one. I do like research (teaching is so-so), but combining it with consultancy projects will broaden my knowledge on the field (rather than say...just working on one project as a research fellow for 3 years!). Unfortunately, it is often either one or the other. In Sg, is it difficult to move to academia after working for several years in industry(while keep writing papers during these years)?

"hard to get" --> do you mean research fellow or tenure track prof. position, or both?

However, knowing the thread starter holds a Ph.D. in a field unrelated to business/management education, I quoted a more generic earning of fellow prof in engineering/science schools.

Best of luck to your interview(s), and job-hunting!

Happy Chinese New Years to All \o/

Happy Chinese New Years!!!
