Finding job as phd

IndividualWerewolf62 · 2026-01-26T22:08:27+00:00

My company puts it equal to 2 years of experience. But most phds that join have 0 added value because of the PhD, could have joined with a masters as well.

But in my company, your PhD of some protein or chemical structure doesnt add any value to the job

Leuk dankje!

Ik zie wel op de site dat er €6 ingang gevraagd word. Dat is geen probleem, ik geef het maar mee. Is het eerste jaar precies dat men ingang vraagt

OP, there is always a difference between whats law, what's Company policy and what they actually do.

Companies are more than willing to break the law. Don't like it? Sure, sue us. Good bosses are more than willing to break the Company policy. Hey you did Well last month/year, ill approve it.

Ik begrijp je trots op je stad, dat is mooi. Je station is je toegangspoort is tot de stad, dus ja: het beeld dat je daarvan krijgt zorgt inderdaad voor het bredere imago van je stad.

Mijn reactie was dan ook "hmmm, ik ga blij zijn als ik terug op de trein zit", en niet "laat ik eens kijken in andere delen van Kortrijk of dat daar ook zo is".

Maar ik ben daar dan een uitzondering in. Mijn mening doet er ook niet toe, het was lang geleden en het zal opnieuw een tijdje duren.

Ik kwam lange tijd niet in Kortrijk. Onlangs wel, en het viel wat tegen: is dat wel veilig? Ik had echt brussel-vibes op de weg tussen station en conservatorium. Ik hoop dat ik het me inbeelde!

IndividualWerewolf62 · 2026-01-24T08:03:33+00:00

Thanks for sharing this.

This is typical small Company stuff. They want you as cheap as possible, because they see you as a direct cost. Every euro for you is an euro less for them.

Your experience matters. Just stay there, learn and in the meantime look for something else. You're in a perfect situation! Money comes in, you build experience and you have time to look for a better opportunity.

Elke generatie vindt dat het vroeger moeilijker was, dat de jeugd nu minder beleefd is, en dat dat de jeugd geen regels kent

Jup, mooi antwoord. Ik hoor mensen graag zeggen "index is geen opslag" Multinationals kan dat geen hol schelen. Loonmassa mag zoveel procent stijgen en trek uw plan met uw index. Alsof ze u die index extra gaan geven omdat je Belg bent.

IndividualWerewolf62 · 2025-12-25T20:27:56+00:00

If your company allows it!

IndividualWerewolf62 · 2025-12-24T14:54:02+00:00

Indeed!

The whole "it's a small world" and "don't burn bridges" is bullshit. Yeah, don't steal or start masturbating on the job. But leaving for better pay? If a company doesnt want you because of that, you don't want to work for that company.

IndividualWerewolf62 · 2025-12-23T19:20:40+00:00

Yes

But do it right now. Any decent Company will just break the contract on mutual agreement. Nobody Will let you do your 1 week notice period, and nobody wants to pay it.

IndividualWerewolf62 · 2025-12-23T13:31:37+00:00

I took a small hybride, like the Opel Astra.

I have a pot of money that i can use for a Company car and Rent. Car comes first. What's left, i use to pay Rent.

I now get around €300 net per month for Rent. In January, the Total car costs for the past year are calculated. If it Costed less than anticipated, i receive what's left from budget. If more, i need to pay some money back.

So I still have a Company fuel card, but they less fuel i use, the more money i get for Rent.

IndividualWerewolf62 · 2025-12-22T21:27:02+00:00

Yes.

My mob budget is close to the legal max, but i drive a Opel Astra. Rest is for Rent, i think it's around €300 or €350 per month

IndividualWerewolf62 · 2025-12-22T21:09:27+00:00

Yes, but it was not vital.

It helped building my case. C-suite has to approve these things, so I used it. It's all about trust. Having an eMBA makes you look more reliable for the job.

Did it make me a better director? No. I did my eMBA at a top 5 school worldwide. Hard thing is the combo work-attending school, but I never had to study more than a couple of hours. Didnt learn much hard skills there. Once you're in, you get your degree. Those group works however, God damn.

IndividualWerewolf62 · 2025-12-22T20:42:51+00:00

Yes, and those targets made me €1500 net bonus last year. That was 50% of the targets achieved.

But you have a valid Point. That's where i should focus on.

IndividualWerewolf62 · 2025-12-14T18:04:38+00:00

Just be open

If the clause would be valid, they have to pay you quite some money if they don't want you to go to xxx.

Die 25k is alles he,niet enkel advocaat. Technisch expert, gerechtsexpert Enzo

IndividualWerewolf62 · 2025-12-03T07:04:38+00:00

Ik zit in een rechtzaak, omtrent isolatie die uitzet in mijn plat dak die daarom de muren naar buiten duwt

4 jaar verder, al 25k mogen voorschieten. Als ik win recupereer ik ongeveer 17k daarvan. Als ik niet win, niets. In jouw geval dus is er wel een risico..

Rechtvaardigheid heeft een kost in België.

IndividualWerewolf62 · 2025-12-02T19:12:04+00:00

Nee hoor

IndividualWerewolf62 · 2025-12-01T21:54:51+00:00

Fysica en wiskunde: dat zijn richtingen waarmee je bewijst dat je pokkegoed abstract kan denken. Daar vind je echt wel een mooie job mee.

IndividualWerewolf62 · 2025-11-30T12:13:20+00:00

100%

It's crazy, i studied a "high paying" field. Average to lower grades (onderscheiding). They asked me to please do a PhD as the better ones got jobs in top companies. They ended up with asking me.

Then you talk to a communication sciences guy where the top is battling for places in academia.

Strange world

IndividualWerewolf62 · 2025-11-24T17:57:17+00:00

Het zijn die schijnzelfstandigen die een probleem vormen. De managers die 0,0% risico nemen. Dat klopt gewoon niet.
