have you gotten such an offer?

@Bayesian if I go back to my PhD program, I would likely be a W2 employee for the University of Wisconsin; this is my only current ~outstanding offer

@AndrewG and do you uh plan to go back to your PhD program

More directly I'll say: how do you want to make this question useful to you, Andrew? Do you want people just to guess randomly based on no info, or do you want people to evaluate some context?

@Bayesian I am currently "on leave" until September, and currently doing research in California which, if I can successfully convert into a permanent research position at some lab, I would likely choose over continuing my PhD

@JamesBaker3 thank you, good question

@JamesBaker3 well, maybe the ideal outcome is to have someone manipulate this market by making me a highly lucrative W2 job offer...

😆
