Recently, I've witnessed some senior academics mock PhDs & postdocs for choosing industry. Apart from the utterly baseless points raised (hours are flexible in many data science jobs, workloads are often similar, etc.) — it's completely out of order in general. I see you.

I think lots of academics in big institutions suffer from a form of Stockholm syndrome. Many at UCL give similar view re: other universities as well as industry. At best they are extremely self interested in the way they express these opinions to junior colleagues.

It's funny you assumed the main person doing the OP mocking is at UCL. They weren't and never have been AFAIK.

Actually I didn't - just have most experience of the issue there. It's a conversation I have had with lots of colleagues. I know some people from the states see this as a big UK issue. My (counter-intuitive) experience is that it is worse with people from prestigious universities

I get what you mean. I definitely agree 100% with you that people in the Golden Triangle will not "like" other UK unis. For sure, it's palpable and I in many cases can see what they mean even if not 100% agree with all their points.
