I got offer for PhD in Cryptography – should I leave my Senior Developer role?
I landed in a Senior Developer role in couple of months and there is a huge opportunity to lead the company&#x27;s development team within a year. Pay is good as well. 
However, yesterday I got an offer for PhD in cryptography. I&#x27;ve always wanted to do PhD but I&#x27;m not sure if this will be a bad decision. I&#x27;m already 30 years old and married. very confused. If I continue job, there&#x27;ll be financial security, I can buy house, have kids....on the other hand I feel I should go for PhD because I&#x27;ve always wanted to do it.
