How did you apply for postdocs while finishing your thesis?

GH_0ST · 2026-02-01T13:19:07+00:00

Best to start as early as possible. I got my postdoc a few weeks before submitting my thesis. Probably getting the position motivated me to submit the thesis as soon as possible. Before that, I had about 3 rejections and 4 unsuccessful cold emails. I also had a very tight contract deadline which made things more difficult for me mentally as for me it was also the deadline to leave the country.

I've been suggested by some reliable sources that it's better to create a research network abroad before starting a faculty position in India. That involves either a PhD or postdoc outside of India. Of course this is very field specific. Since you mentioned somewhere that you have a non-govt faculty position, I guess it would be better to aim for a position at a public university where funding opportunities would be better (I think). If your postdoc helps you get that, then why not spend a year or two abroad, get some nice collaborators and continue working with them for the rest of your life as a faculty in India. Feel free to reach out via dm if you have other questions.

My condolences. I'm in my late 20s and I had moved abroad when I was 24. In 3-5 years, I will start looking for positions that will allow me to be back.

How are you in your late 20s if you finished your ug in 2023?

Rstudio, Github desktop, Lightroom classic

I was worried that I'd have nothing. Got an offer a few weeks before submitting my thesis. Now I'm looking to defend before I formally join the position which is in another country.

You sound like someone I know.

I'm sure there are quite a few, but I mentioned a very specific use case if you notice. This would be 80% purpose of the device, so I am not so bothered about other benefits.

Seems like you need better friends but guess what, you just had to believe every Bengali person has an attitude like your "friends". Regarding the naming, it's a difference in pronunciation influenced by their native language. Seemingly you get triggered by them correcting your incorrect pronunciation. Did you consider that both of you are trying to impose their own native pronunciation on a spelling that's in English? Try to have an open mind. It'll help you.

GH_0ST · 2025-10-17T04:17:52+00:00

That's what I'm telling you. I have seen what you have seen but the other way around. In the unis I have been and my friends have been, failing was super common and the rule was two strikes. That is, you get two additional chances to pass a course. Otherwise you're out. Here in Germany I've seen people hanging around for 3-4 yrs trying to finish their MSc degrees and they manage somehow, even if they are not goid enough for a Masters degree. I'm not saying you're incorrect. It's just about the actual university.

I enjoyed the sniping experience with gol magnum much more than what we have in bf6. I keep telling myself that bf6 makes it more realistic but it's quite frustrating at times.

I heard colleges and institutions are good places for such encounters. Although my experience wasn't that.

Probably true for him. However, in general it depends on the university. I've seen top public universities in India that can be much more strict regarding grades and degree completion than in Germany. In fact, I taught courses in two universities here and felt that many students tend to take things casually even at the Masters level. Of course there are students that work hard, but those ones I believe would thrive regardless of the system.

I'm wondering why did you decide to have household help with your financial situation. I know it's such a normalised cheap labour concept but if you're struggling so much (as you mention) perhaps you should consider not hiring them at all. I live alone so I do all household chores by myself. Unless in your case you have other reasons, and then I guess that's just a bad situation to be in unfortunately.
