It's a fulfilling job I must say, and you do get work life balance, since life in academia is never as hertic as life in corporate, especially if you are chasing one project after another in IT. If you truly enjoy your field of work and want to be sorrounded by books, researches and opportunities to play with toys.

But as a reality check, how much are you expecting these educational institute to pay?

100k common in the industry, like what another guy here said, but people don't usually get close to that amount in academia unless you are at the assoc. prof level. And that comes after years of slogging for the PHD and after that, as a research fellow, as an asst. prof. and more.
