I'm going to say it. The market is going to be crap for a couple of years. When people are applying for Assistant Professor positions from government jobs they got out of their PhDs, let's not do the usually BS/ can they hack it in academia thing, cool? OK. 1/2
People need to pay the bills. And working for a government or nonprofit could enrich their research back on the tenure track. 2/3 (I should not number).
Admit it--we are snobs about this (don't lie to me even if you lie to yourself). We want people to come straight from their PhDs but it may not be possible now. So let's have some collective thinking about this and try to be cool for the next couple of years.
