I meant really "going into industry", not "going into the industrial portions of academia". As in, becoming a software engineer at Google et al.
You won't be able to net a position at a top R1, but plenty of universities (and esp. colleges) would be happy for someone a few years out from a solid Ph.D. but with a strong industrial background and track record of (perhaps ad junct) teaching and/or moonlight researching. Especially if you stay in industry long enough that you don't need a six figure salary.
Congratulations on successfully navigating that transition, BTW.
