"all your skills are super interesting, and the stuff you build is amazing. oh, but your h-index score is not high... oh well, I think we will end it here." if i had a world leading h-index and millions in grant funding, would i be applying for a technician job in a company? will they give me 50% of my time to do academic research if I work there? this is why the stem industry is a cluster fuck. industry != university.
