That's alluring.

It is true that you can change companies and rapidly leave behind all the problems and conflicts and issues you had in your previous jobs.

In academia, first, it is very challenging to move to another institution after you start your tenure track position (few jobs available, students need to be taken care of, it is at least a 2-year move), second if you have "issues" with other people in the field, and especially when they are more powerful than you (better known, better network, better financing), you have a miserable professional life in front of you. I see many an academic living on the verge of psychological collapse.

Freedom has no price, for all the rest there is money in the bank account.
