Flexibility is the biggest advantage for an academic research scientist. There is not only flexibility in terms of your working schedule but also the flexibility on the topic of research as well. However, scientists working in the industry, for an instance in a startup, are working around the clock to achieve results due to limited funds and work pressure.This doesn’t mean that the academia researchers work only few hours rather sometimes they work more out of their passion. In the industry, researchers don’t always get their topic of choice. There has to be a specific commercial focus and they are part of the team and all of their focus is to accomplish that goal.
