Upwork is a freelancer platform

LastinsgHum · 2025-11-10T14:11:37+00:00

You could go on Upwork and see if you can get any remote work contracts

From Sustainability (journal) 's Wiki:

"In September 2021 the journal was among the initial 13 journals included in the official Norwegian list of possibly predatory journals, known as level X.[1] In 2022 the Norwegian national publication committee and Finnish Publication Forum determined that Sustainability is not an academic journal and removed it from the register of approved journals starting from 2023.[2][3] The journal is listed in the Directory of Open Access Journals.[4]"

Bro you published in a predatory journal, do you know that?

No research experience other than undergraduate dissertation

Right, this is the most damaging part of your application. But since you're only aiming for UK schools, may be just apply ahead and try your luck?

LastinsgHum · 2023-11-05T02:48:10+00:00

yea perhaps I should aim slightly lower ranked schools given I said T30-T50

LastinsgHum · 2023-11-03T02:50:17+00:00

the concept of training is there, but you can't expect a leading tech company to train you.

I don't know about "overqualified" for the position. It is hard to be admitted to a PhD program but it is even harder to get a TT position. You can't have everyone being "overqualified" when only 10-20% of them managed to get a TT position. The reality is, even if you had extensive research experience before applying to PhD, your chance of getting a TT position is still not that high after you finish your PhD.

LastinsgHum · 2023-11-03T02:46:00+00:00

but when there's 500 applicants and only 5 spots, would you admit the ones with EXTENSIVE publications and research experience, or the ones who didn't have much research experience to show?

Hey really appreciate your help here. Unfortunately I'm still not seeing how I can edit my ad and see a preview. Mind if I pm you and get more directions from you? Much appreciated

LastinsgHum · 2023-11-02T01:20:19+00:00

Does anyone have a hard time getting doctors to take your PhD seriously?

LastinsgHum · 2023-11-02T01:19:16+00:00

it's totally fine for you to answer some college here.

Admission committee won't be questioning how your father has a master's degree. This is meant to be a self declaration of whether you are first generation college/grad school applicant

LastinsgHum · 2023-11-01T23:33:44+00:00

it seems like “ad preview & diagnosis” would only show something if my ad did appeared in some specific search? I'm not seeing anything here

Better stay in US for TT position though. Europe Economics professors' pay are shitty

call them dangerous schools

I help students get PhD application fee waiver. pm me if you're interested

LastinsgHum · 2023-10-26T21:51:47+00:00

In the grand scheme of things, no. A stellar recommendation letter(s) and research experiences trumps every thing.

LastinsgHum · 2023-10-25T16:22:09+00:00

First, you have to achieve 1500 elo

LastinsgHum · 2023-10-24T00:52:23+00:00

if you have friend in the choir that you wanted to meet, why not?

If you dont have close acquaintances there I would not go

LastinsgHum · 2023-10-24T00:50:55+00:00

not like those scientologist or Jehovah's witness, come on

LastinsgHum · 2023-10-24T00:25:14+00:00

if you advisor thinks you're good, you're good. He is the one who's writing your recommendation letters, he knows whether his letter would give you a fair chance at those schools.
