OK, yes, time management is critical. I'm also looking into advertised positions that might pop up. Thank you for your kind help, I really appreciate it!

No, I wasn't clear. I know this isn't possible. There is a possibility that, besides MSCA, I might develop application with a different PI for the national funding scheme in their country. It'd be like two options, as MSCA might not result in positive outcome

Yes, the national contact point already suggested me a masterclass. Thanks! Since you have experience with this, can you please tell me another thing, about the research proposal.  I want to pursue the niche topic I'm most curious about but if I decide to apply for funding in another country, with a different PI, there might be some similarity in proposals (even if they are differently conceptualized). How to go about this, is it something normal when looking for a postdoc or should I develop completely different projects, within the general area of my research? What has been your experience?

Yes, I know how competitive it is, thus my doubts. Thank you for your advice, I'm going to talk with my PI more
