(I'm the OP, was on my phone so ended up with a diff account.)

Unfortunately, I am trying to move from academia to the private / non-profit sector's 'research associate' etc roles. Finding it to be truly difficult.

Thanks for the reply though!

Why do you want to move out of academia? Get a tenure and you'll be doing your research plus you'll secure a job for the rest of your life.

In short, the privatization (education for profit) and adjunct (severe labor exploitation) issues are horrible in that sector and I want no part in these.

These are the same issues both the non-profit and private non-academic sectors deal with too, but the private and non-profit sectors do not have the same amount of hypocrisy and blindness as academia when it comes to sticking a ten-feet pole on fire up one's ass.
