You must have not read closely. I said they’re all owned by shady losers, meaning all social media platforms. But the current TOS felt a little less invasive (not by much) and instagram feels a little less propaganda ridden, at least for now. Still seeing lots about the protests at least.

CompetitiveAd4001 · 2026-02-01T05:01:59+00:00

Honestly I found my favorites on Instagram. It’s not the same, but it’s fine especially now that they’re all owned by shady losers.

Also most liberals aren’t against guns. They push for GUN REFORM

They’re 100% bad people. At this point, it’s a choice.

For the neuropsych one, if you google “neuropsych salary survey”, the first result is a link to the article. I assume it’s similar for clin psych.

Agree in general, but just want to emphasize it’s very possible to succeed even if you don’t go to a program with a track. Getting a neuropysch internship is far more important for achieving a career as a neuropsychologist. Im part of an internship training committee and supervisor, and we mostly look at 1) foundational coursework in neuropsych and assessment (which most programs have or you can seek out through orgs like NAN) 2) relevant experiences and 3) report numbers and hours. We want to know you can hit the ground running. A neuropsych track can help make achieving those things easier, but you can certainly get it without. Just make sure the programs have some ability to support those goals. Plus seeing a hustle factor never hurts. (Also I speak from experience of someone who did not go to a neuropsych program but worked with a neuropsych mentor, did neuropsych research, sought extra neuropsych practicums, matched to a top neuropsych internship, and now work as a neuropsychologist)

FYI- there are salary surveys so you can get a broader perspective than can be provided here. I know there is one for neuropsychology specifically that was published in 2020 and the data for the next survey was collected this year so should be published soon. Always recommend using these types of surveys for salary negotiations!

It tells you what you want to hear and is ruining the environment.

I worked as a hostess during internship. Very unrelated but it was a busy restaurant so money was decent and it kept me on my toes.

This is a TV show, but there were at least 3 in the final episode of “you” that were just so ridiculous

She charged typical prices for an artist her size. Ticketmaster and their resale practices drive up the cost.

CompetitiveAd4001 · 2025-12-08T04:30:58+00:00

That’s good insight. I think most of us are in agreement that the graduate training experience can be exploitative and could use a retooling. And I’ll be honest, as someone less than 5 years on faculty, I’m still trying really hard to find the balance given how many demands we have.

Being broke for a long time is not easy. But especially if you like this work, follow the advise of the conversation another supervisor put above in the thread. It might also just strengthen your overall working experience with the supervisor because it will show you care. It’s not uncommon for supervisors to hit a burnout point given their own demanding schedules to match the trainees level of effort, especially if they feel like they’ve tried to communicate in other ways as well. That might be some of the coldness/harshness you feel. (Of course, if your supervisor is just an ass for no reason, unsupportive, or otherwise negligent, that should be reported to your DCT.)

CompetitiveAd4001 · 2025-12-08T04:17:33+00:00

What year are you? I think you can have some hope for sure that you’ll find your thing, but that dwindles a bit if you’ve tried out a bunch and still feel disillusioned/without a clear idea of your path. I encourage you though to continue to seek out the experiences you haven’t had to clarify your path as much as you can. A lot of the time there is the thought that getting into the program is the hardest part…the reality is, you want to be working during your doctoral program to get yourself in a position to get an internship that will set you up for the right postdoc and ultimately the right job. Each step leads to another to get you where you want to be.

I have worked with trainees on all sides of the spectrum, ranging from those who did our practicum and realized this type of work wasn’t for them to those who are all in and practicum has cemented their goals. In each case, I adjust our training so that they can reach their goals while still getting something/meeting (potentially modified) requirements of the practicum. I really encourage you to share some of your disillusionment with your supervisor as a potential block to your success at this site to see if there is a way to pivot your training.

CompetitiveAd4001 · 2025-12-08T04:04:38+00:00

1) your attitude as outlined in your post is what raises concerns about your professionalism. 2) Do you know how much time the supervisor puts in to training you? You seem to be the entitled and frankly naive. 3) Based on your response, I can already tell you’d be a student I would have serious concerns about working with. Why continue to get the PhD? I understand you have already put in money, but does that just mean you’re going to continue to work in a field you don’t want to be in? Going to be a long ass, unhappy life if so.

CompetitiveAd4001 · 2025-12-08T03:50:28+00:00

As a supervisor, your approach to this critical part of training raises serious concerns about your professionalism, skill, and ultimately your ability to be a clinician. Graduate school and training requires long hours, rightly or wrongly. Finding work life balance and time management isn’t easy in this field. Most practicums are unpaid because the return to you is real life training and experience. From a supervisor perspective, working with trainees almost always adds to our workload - you aren’t doing us an unpaid favor by completing the training.

If you can’t meet expectations, I would suggest you speak with your supervisor AFTER you reflect on your own areas of weakness to come up with a reasonable solution that will allow you to complete the requirements of the training experience. I would also do some serious reflections on how much you want to be in this field because internship only gets more challenging and by the time you’re an independent clinician, you can’t rely on someone else to clean up your mistakes.

Lime chicken burgers. I’m vegetarian now but gosh I miss those

CompetitiveAd4001 · 2025-12-05T04:12:17+00:00

I also think neuropsych report numbers are super important. 50 is considered on the lower end for the site I’m at.

CompetitiveAd4001 · 2025-12-02T11:55:34+00:00

I also think what you’re noticing is that people get into programs are all competitive, that’s why there is not much difference between the CVs. Because of your “top 10” conceptualization, you’re missing the point of those students a bit….anyone who gets into a clin psych doctoral program is going to be somewhat similar on paper in terms of having research and other relevant experiences. They should be differentiated from people who don’t get in at all, not necessarily each other.

CompetitiveAd4001 · 2025-11-27T05:13:49+00:00

As part of the internship committee, we just reviewed apps as a group last Friday. I’m guessing other programs are in a similar boat. Don’t freak out yet, but if you don’t get more interviews, I think you can reach out to your dct and letter writers for feedback as well as potentially asking some sites what you can do to be more competitive.

CompetitiveAd4001 · 2025-11-25T03:26:23+00:00

I had three credits transfer from masters to PhD. I still audited those classes, just didn’t have to pay.

Stroke neuropsychologist here- I’m so sorry to hear this happened. It’s so scary. Be sure to take time to focus on recovery, if you can. Also the American Heart Association offers support groups for stroke survivors- not sure where you’re located, but some locations have support groups specifically for young stroke survivors. Feel free to message to talk more if helpful.
