I caught up with none other than Naomi Tyrrell… academic-turned-research-consultant, and creator of the Alt-Ac Careers UK Facebook group, who after more than 10 years working full-time in academia (including a 3.5 year Marie-Curie postdoc in Ireland, and a permanent lectureship in the UK between 2010-2016) decided to form an exit strategy.

In so many ways, flippers profit off of laziness — people don’t want to research an item’s true value and they don’t want to wait (either to find a good deal or sell something of their own).
