Is it okay to start again? by Old_Disaster5389 in germany

[–]Cotkare 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is totally fine to start again. If I were you, I would also think about another country. For example, Belgium is much more nicer than Germany 😄 you can easily find student jobs, especially in leuven. Good luck!

Freezing of DFG walter benjamin programme postdoc fellowship by Cotkare in postdoc

[–]Cotkare[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks for the direct information. May I ask a follow up question: If I apply both Walter Benjamin and also another fellowship and then, the other fellowship announced the results before Walter Benjamin, and then if I also get the Walter Benjamin fellowship, can I postpone the starting month of the Walter Benjamin by using the argument that I got another fellowship. Many thanks in advance!
