To do a PHD or not to do a PHD, that is the question.

Yesterday my supervisor offered me a PhD position on the foot of my final year project (as a computer science major) in data science. As far as I know the PhD will be based around data science/data analytics, which is a very interesting area but I never imagined myself getting into academia.

I'm wondering if there's many people here, on HN, who did PhDs instead of going straight into industry. How did it affect you long term? Are you happy with the choice you made?

Thanks in advance!
