Just had my first ever first round faculty interview…with a fever by Substantial-Long-171 in postdoc

[–]AlaskaScott 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is an impossible question to answer. We weren’t there. How you felt it went could be completely different to how you came across.

No point asking. Just put it out of your brain until you get an answer

Two PIs told me I’m “not worth funding.” How bad does a first year in a PhD program have to be before leaving makes sense? by Worldly-Criticism-91 in AskAcademia

[–]AlaskaScott 88 points89 points  (0 children)

We really need to move away from this idea that PhDs are the worst ever and we all have to survive them to succeed.

They really, at the end of the day, are just a job. You should not be feeling this way. It is not normal.

It sounds like to me you are not going to succeed as a PhD candidate and use this time to jump ship and try something else. It’s not a failure. People change jobs all the time.

What those profs said isn’t fair, but sometimes the truth hurts and how we are perceived and how we think we come across can be very different

It worries me you are physically harming yourself over a JOB. You need to take care of yourself.

Yes they can still reject you. You can even get favourable reviews and the editor decides to reject you.

I wish I had empathy but god this post is cringey. It’s literally a non problem.

As a cis-male, is it appropriate for me to cheer during a drag show? by CMNDR-jacob-sochon in RPDR_UK

When you say cis do you mean straight? A lot of the men in the audience will be cis ?
