Ask HN: Moving into Academic CS from Industry?
2 by jhp123 | 4 comments on Hacker News.
Hi all. I've been a programmer for about 16 years now. I've worked at a lot of different companies and I've mostly not enjoyed the career. At this point I think it's prudent to give up on churning through companies looking for a good fit, and consider more radical changes. My interests tend towards the more academic side of CS - parsers, type theory, programming languages and so on. So I'm wondering how difficult it would be to transition into the academic career path. Has anyone done it, or know how it might go from personal experience? What would be the actual steps involved?
