Pros

Columbia University has a good campus vibe, good intellectual atmosphere, good range of students and great library facilities. It also has good retirement benefits and reasonable health insurance plans.

Cons

The administration is extremely uncooperative and extremely hard-to-navigate bureaucracy makes life often very difficult here. If you are a foreign scholar, expect even worse.

My job with the Columbia Population Research Center is fully remote, which is a great perk. I can also create my own schedule and work any day of the week.

The pay could be better.
