Ask HN: Researcher, given large pay raise, how do I decline?
I am a researcher at a university lab.  I work entirely on soft money and have no tenure.  My lab recently gave me a substantial raise which I think is reasonable for industry, but I am in academia.  This raise essentially means I have to work that much harder to get grant monies to keep myself a float or I risk getting laid off.  How do I navigate such a situation?  Looking for ideas.<p>I have been working ML research for 20 years and have an h-index around 10.
