I do agree with most of you on the pros and cons for academic vs industrial. Also, it was very clearly stated in the presentation. However, I think which one will have an argument based on their personal preference. SO, If you like academic more than industrial you can see a lot of good argument to support and vice versa. For me, I do like the pace of industrial and working on the actual project to make things happen. Also, I believe there is a link between both of them. Working on the industrial side also required the academic understanding of the actual theory. it is a more competitive field but also it has a higher pay and all other benefits that you guys talked about it. Also, as mentioned you have more room to grow in industrial and more position and it is a business-oriented. in the bigger picture, I always see that I can own one company one day which mean that all that I learn in my career path can be utilized later. I feel that there is no limit in industrial or in another word, you can do much more of development and growth than in the academic field.
