I could be wrong, but I very much doubt that Leibnizians have any such advantage over Spinozists on the job market.

There’s a Spinoza circle in the UK and nothing equivalent for Leibniz. However, I would guess that there’s probably about the same number of Spinoza and Leibniz scholars

I did my first "Sounds interesting, let's touch base after the holidays" today, and it felt great. Did not specify that I meant Easter. They'll figure it out.
