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

‘Taking the above as material for theorizing, let us hypothesize that experiences of eeriness are instigated under complex experiential situations whereby object-appearances loom out of the environment, appearing indeterminately situated either spatially and/or temporally. This breaks the smooth, holistic transparency of everyday experience.’
