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.

I'm curious where (broadly) these academics *were* based. I have the general impression that those in the Golden Triangle are slightly more industry-friendly than others.

They count as Golden Triangle and they are University of London. Won't say too much, but you can imagine the various options given the above. Also to be clear, it's not that UCL people didn't also join in, they just didn't do so in as much a derogatory way.
