I'm a PhD student in Europe and I get paid more than a junior graphic designer or marketing person and I get paid about the same as senior DevOps engineers. It would definitely be cheaper for my research group to outsource this work onto non-research staff. |

Author here! I realise that my point is a little bit misunderstood. I am not saying 'Ah, let the PhD students do it.' I am saying that these sort of aspects should be recognised and rewarded, potentially influencing hiring decisions (for instance, hiring an SWE role instead of a Ph.D. student to fully support the lab).
