Switched from a startup job to an academic research job last year. The stress and pressure are just gone entirely. There is no slack/chat, meetings are rare and ad-hoc. People just talk irl or email if it's really necessary, but most of the time there's nothing that important. No idiot clients that really need some dumb feature added by Monday, and there's almost complete freedom on what to work on and how.

Probably one of the healthiest changes I've made recently tbh.
