I have been thinking about this alot lately as i begin my faculty search. Is it better to be a small fish in a big pond where you are scared of being looked down upon if you don't get that first R01, or better to be a medium to bigger fish in a small pond where expectations might not be as great and you can relax a little bit during your first few years as a PI? I guess just getting an offer somewhere would be nice but I am not sure which place I would rather that offer come from.
