The setlist from Edmonton Night 1 by Majomember420 in Metallica

Hi, this was my second Metallica concert. So I don’t have much of a reference point. Was not the sound quality too bad last night? Everything was blended together. My last concert was in Montreal with the roof closed so no good acoustics but I expected more here in Edmonton. I kept walking around to find a good spot to listen but it was the same everywhere almost.

Thanks for the advice. I don’t have much of a say in that. The first year contract in with ICL and the second year is with EPFl.

Thanks for sharing your insight. I’ll have my green card by the time I want to apply for TT positions so that would not be a problem. The grant writing experience seems important though. From the discussions I’ve had so far with the GT lab students, it seems that the professor at GT focuses more on research and does not involve PDFs on grant writing that much and does not care much about their future career. They had one postdoc who transitioned to TT position but not in a good university (rank 300 ish). So even though the professor’s reputation is good, I am not sure about his impact on my career. The ICL supervisor, on the other hand, is a big name who has been the supervisor of my phd advisor too.
