For those who left already, is your job intellectually stimulating?
Post Body

I am currently in astronomy but at some point I would like to leave academia for several reasons (salary, WLB, permanent position, avoiding the publish or perish culture). However, I fear that whatever I do outside of astronomy, I won't find it intellectually stimulating since I have worked on astronomy my whole career. For example, I am really considering DS because throughout my research experiences, I have enjoyed trying to make some inferences from data but I fear it may be some boring desk job.

Did anyone else have this fear that they would struggle to find a job that gives them as much passion and intellectual training as their field of study? How did you manage?
