   I can't believe this. If you are good enough to be at Cambridge many places even in the UK would pay way more the £75K

   You make me feel inadequate. But it is true and I'm not a dead wood...

   are you looking around for other options? did you even try ?

   I'm bounded for family reasons.

   Ok you cannot blame the market though. I am sure you could make more money somewhere else in UK. Also, do you know how many UK academics commute from very far places? It is totally doable. You could easily live in cambridge and work in London/Essex

   sorry to hear that Vasco. May I suggest you actually write a paper yourself rather than RA? I am sure Middlesex would be keen to get you on board then.

   I love that you always thought I was at Middlesex.

   I never was and have left the UK (thankfully).

   I just come on these threads to remind myself of the terrible times I had on that soggy island and how much more hopeful my future has become since I left.

   Get out bros, while you still can.

   JMC's read these threads seriously before considering making a huge error.

   75k full prof at Cambridge must be a cohort effect. They pay that to APs

   Did you eat mouldy bread with Tesco 90p ham?
   Ever come home soaking wet with water literally filling up your shoes?
   Ever breathed mouldy air at damp home?

   If so, then you can say you've lived in the UK.
