<p>I downvoted your question because the part about job-related questions doesn't make sense, and it's unrelated to the site policy: </p>

<ul>
<li><p>this is a Statistics Q&amp;A - nowhere in the <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/help/dont-ask">list of questions one should avoid asking</a> is it mentioned that questions related to the OP's job must not be asked. The only valid criterion to judge a question is whether <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/help/on-topic">it is a good statistics problem</a> or not: whether the OP gets paid to answer them doesn't matter at all - surely William Deming and Karl Pearson could have asked and answered excellent statistical questions, related to their work as consulting statisticians.</p></li>
<li><p>such a criterion is also illogical: as a lecturer you're being paid from your university to do research and write papers, and your career depends on how many papers of high impact factor you publish, how many grants you get, etc. With this kind of reasoning, we shouldn't answer questions from academicians because we're making the work of reading papers, studying books and so on, for them. It doesn't make sense.</p></li>
</ul>

<p>As Stephan Kolassa explains very well <a href="https://stats.meta.stackexchange.com/a/3105/58675">here</a>, whether the OP is a doctor, an high school teacher, a researcher or a company employee is none of our business. In closing, downvoting, migrating, etc. questions we should stick to the on-topic/off-topic rules for this site, which don't mention the OP's source of income. </p>
