These are the two best offers I have. I'm not so attached to academia, doing research is more like something I neither like nor hate. What I care more about is money, life style, and prestige. The AP job pays more, but it will stay at this level probably for the rest of my life. In contrary, GS offers very steep income potential. While people always say life in academia is chill, before tenure I still work like a slave so I don't want to count on that. What are the other pros and cons?
