Hey there! I failed to mention that I am considering the PhD route rather than stopping at MS/MA. The only thing that worries me is that when I go on SiOP to see job listings in my area, nothing shows up lol. I see some listings on other websites rather than SiOP. Also there is a professor at my university (Not an R1, not a super research-based school) and he has his PhD in I/O. It looks like he is still in the consulting game and has been for the past 35 years. He teaches 2 or 3 classes every semester (mostly online) and I'm assuming he spends time off campus consulting. He is a full professor at my university as well rather than a part-timer. Is this a common gig? Thanks!

Hey Everyone,I have recently started looking into grad I/O and I just had some questions concerning the career:1) Is it possible to work in industry as a consultant and maintain a position as a professor at my local university? I have always been interested in having a role in academia as well as working somewhere outside of academia as well. 2) What is work/life balance like in this field? In other words, will I be required to work during my "days off" and what not.3) And finally, I hate to be that guy, but what is the typical starting salary? I know this varies based on location, but I looked up the average salary in my location and it said somewhere around 110K which didn't sound right at all (Sounds more like a salary after 10 years of experience or so). Then I kept snooping around and I cam across a more accurate figure: 85K. Does this sound about right?Thanks for your time.
