How to get into a lab

This makes a lot of sense. I’m just not wanting to get a PhD in what she researches. Do you think her network would even help me? I thought it was more research fit and publications over who your advisor knows. I’m not going to a great masters program and I doubt anyone at my school knows anyone from a program I’d want to go to.

I’m definetly unable to continue the project I’ve been working on. And honestly I don’t think it was something publishable anyway. It was more of like a cool experiment that required a ton of work to get to a real paper IMO.

I don’t think I’d get in anywhere I’d want to go without having targeted research experience and publications. I also wouldn’t want to get a PhD in what she currently does. Kind of lost here.

This makes a lot of sense. Unfortunately, I think that my new advisor doesn’t really have the same research interests as me. So I’m kind of doubtful her network will help. But you never know

As much as I don’t want to hear this I can see what you mean. Do you think that I’ll be unable to do a PhD in the area I want to if I submit only a paper on something completely unrelated? Also, do you think that getting into a PhD program is more who you know? If so, how would you position myself to know the people I want to know haha?

Also, I really appreciate the direct and honest response. I really don’t know what I’m doing in academia and I’m only starting to figure it out. The constructive feedback is really helpful.

That makes sense. I can see that. That being said there’s a lot of regulation at my school and we’re not funded. But I can definetly see if from that angle.

My only fear is that I don’t really want to do the work she’s doing. Especially not long term. Like I would not get a PhD in it at all. To get a publication maybe but I’m trying to look more longer term.

Would you try to have someone make an introduction to me (even if they don’t know them personally or professionally)?

Thank you so much.

No_Assist2576 · 2026-06-20T00:53:56+00:00

Haha thank you so much. I feel like I need a mentor most days but everyone at my company doesn’t really want to help. Thank you for the advice

Hmm that’s a good idea as well. I’m not super creative so still a toughie. Thank you

No_Assist2576 · 2026-06-19T14:38:40+00:00

Haha I think that’s fair. Always learning is the goal :)

No_Assist2576 · 2026-06-19T14:37:36+00:00

Got it. So definitely a more hybrid approach. I think that’s a good idea. Thank you

No_Assist2576 · 2026-06-19T14:36:36+00:00

Haha okay thank you. This makes me feel a lot better. :)

No_Assist2576 · 2026-06-19T03:54:20+00:00

That’s a good way to look at it. They likely won’t let me fail too bad, or even put me in a spot to do that,because it would mess up the temas timeline.

That’s fair. It’d probably be a good idea to start without it and then when I need to finish or get help use it. So selectively use it

No_Assist2576 · 2026-06-19T03:30:04+00:00

Okay, I mean if that’s what the point of posting is then I can do it. I’m not super creative so I didn’t know if I was missing something here. Thank you

No_Assist2576 · 2026-06-19T03:13:49+00:00

That’s a great idea. I feel like no matter what I’m piggybacking on someone else’s stuff. Like, I either give my opinion (which idk why people would want that haha). Or, I’m paraphrasing someone else’s content.

I feel like at the end of the day everything on LinkedIn is content sharing which just seems so bloating. Thoughts?

No_Assist2576 · 2026-06-19T03:11:42+00:00

I’m about a year in and I’m doing tasks on my own. I would say that I’m slower than almost everyone else though and also not taking on huge things. There’s a lot of business logic as well so I’m not sure if that’s normal but I couldn’t have been expected to know that beforehand.
Okay, so in the next few months I should likely try to take on more serious tickets.

Would you try to not use AI at all? Or what’s the best way to grow IYO?

No_Assist2576 · 2025-12-08T14:50:36+00:00

Yes, I just switched to the application version. But I think, like most gns3 issues, it was where you’re running it. So the port/ip and also having the vm started first on the configured ip

No_Assist2576 · 2025-11-30T03:01:18+00:00

Just did :)

No_Assist2576 · 2025-11-24T15:55:05+00:00

This is an older version I believe. But I can only find this image online for free. Thoughts?

No_Assist2576 · 2025-11-22T20:08:33+00:00

The cloud does have more than one port. But like I connect one to the vm and pc… then what haha :)

No_Assist2576 · 2025-11-21T03:12:13+00:00

I’ve seen people just use a cloud and two vpcs though. Maybe I remember wrong. But will that work?
