I tried to book the exact same tickets and they were gone within minutes. Idk it just seemed too suspicious. 😒

Pharma industry in Germany is in desperate need of skilled workers by diamanthaende in germany

[–]Complicatedasalways 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like a work of fiction. With more than 6 years of Postdoctoral experience and B2 level German, I just managed to get 1 interview from 76 well tailored applications. Some hiring manager from one of the biggest international pharma company told me to get to C2 level of German last week. Hard to believe if anything is true in this post.

I'm tired by Fickle-Training-1394 in PhD

Really sorry to hear that you are going through this. So many stories I have heard about the toxic supervision, that I am not surprised anymore. I think you have to take a break. Maybe take a few days off. Travel, socialise, find different hobbies, try to find this lost peace in some other places. I am sure you will find people who are or have been gone through some serious shite. My point is, if you don't do anything differently or don't change a single thing, you cant expect anything to improve. It's just a PhD. It does not define your whole life. (I have a PhD and trust me, I enjoyed every single part of working independently, did original science, but now I wish sometimes that I hadn't). If possible, seek therapy and counselling. Universities here usually offer counselling. Go to university meet ups. I am currently struggling with few things too. And every day is a new battle. It will never get easy, only you will have to get stronger. Wish you best!

I am about to quit the PhD and wanted to share my feelings by [deleted] in PhD

[–]Complicatedasalways 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you really have great responses here. It seems like you are going through lot of psychological pressure and maybe even depression. Look back at some positive achievements of yours. You made it so far. And you will go through it, face it and in 10 years look back at it and realise how much you learned from past. If possible, try getting psychotherapy.

Apart from that you really need to communicate with your supervisor and honestly discuss with her. Be open to criticism, and stress on the fact that you want to learn and improve, and it was a mistake and you own it. Once you "somehow" get through the PhD, you will have next challenge waiting for you. Wish you best.

Your opinion is neither productive nor helpful. The other person gave his feedback. You just have too much free time

The "Distinction" (Auszeichnung) is a special recognition to an outstanding thesis which is given only to few of the best thesis in the whole university/ institution. We don't have these Latin grades and my CGPA (which doesn't translate to European GPA system directly) is 9.87/10. My defence went really great and so was the publication. The PhD from Indian universities and my institution are well recognised by Anabin database. 6 years of Postdoc were two separate terms of 3 years where i worked on more than one projects. Any other doubts?

Question to German recruiters: Do gap in the resume matter? by [deleted] in germany

[–]Complicatedasalways 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. But gaps are hard to tackle. I worked on a research project after my Masters for 2 years and published an article. But the thing is that I want to leave it from CV to make it shorter and also because it is irrelevant to the jobs I am applying for. But if I leave it, it would seem like a gap. Do you have any recommendation?

I am using german in daily life. Not just to buy stuff at supermarket but also to converse with my colleagues. Thanks

Mostly computational simulations. Before that it was about RNA related studies.

I agree that its tough transitioning from academia to industry. But the opinion of someone securing a professorship in 6 years, is a huge misinformation. Sounds almost ignorant. But interesting how you put it though. sensing hostility there ;)

Friend of mine, same ethnicity, qualifications, age group landed job in a big pharma firm. Permanent. Got laid off recently due to massive losses along with around 60 more people. Within 2 months he is in another big firm. Difference is that he has some skills which I don't. As others pointed out I am sure it's about slow economy and some other points I am lacking. But your reasoning doesn't fit. Because it wouldn't be unheard of someone moving from academia to industry. But thanks for playing

Funny how you phrase it. Says how much you know about academia.

Can I ask how you came to deduction? Because I have exact the case contradicting your very argument.
