This seems like great points and of course, your question stands.
I wanted to say that most R1 research is problematic for new grads: this is because of difficulty of success, low career capital, and frankly “impact” can also be dubious. It is also hard to get started. It typically requires PhD, post-doc(s), all poorly paid—contrast with say, software engineering.
My motivation for writing the above is for others, akin to the “bycatch” article—I don’t think you are here to read my opinions.
Thanks for responding thoughtfully and I’m sure you will get an interesting answer from Holden.
