Since you want to earn more,  I have some advice for you. 1. Industry is paying well compared to academia. 2. Some fields do not appreciate having a PhDs but value experience more. As an example, my field is Computer Science. I am trying to get a job in the industry and getting many rejections because I don't have industry experience. Especially with age, they are looking for more experience. Unfortunally for the past 7 years I have been doing my masters (2) then PhD (5). They don't care about academic researchers because we lack industry experience. However, based on your research project and supervisor you may get chances to work with industry and then it's an advantage to move to industry after your PhD. But it depends on your project and supervisor connections. 3. But if you want to move out. PhD is your best way. 4. 3 publications are more than enough to get into a PhD. If I were you, I would try to get into the industry as soon as possible. Once you have enough experience then you can move out as well. But at the same time, I will apply to PhDs. Just grab whatever opportunity comes your way.</blockquote>
