What if someone has made substantial progress of the sort that hasn't been valued? I didn't interpret lack of fit to mean lack of progress.
Yes, that happens. I'm criticising an earlier tweet, which seems to espouse the point of view that _generically_ 8-10 years isn't enough time for people to really get going & make an impact.
It's certainly possible to find and make exceptions; I've been a party to some (and, in some ways, a beneficiary). But I'm pretty unsympathetic to the idea of further extending the typical career path, in part because society spends enormous sums of money on it already.
I'd argue the aggregate scientific value for money is pretty high for government funded postdocs. My first year postdoc salary at NYU, with degrees from MIT and Princeton, was "NIH standard minimum" $39k. I worked happily on that scale for over 4 years, as do most people.
