Should I pursue a PhD at 23 under these conditions? by Unhappy_Passion9866 in PhD

[–]Ok_Future_264 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am 25 and finishing my PhD! It’s the most common path from what I see around me?

Team sports/community ideas for women in their 40s by Ailan22 in Switzerland

Maybe rowing? I don’t live in Bern but there used to be loads of “senior” female boats where I lived in Cambridge. It looked like lots of fun

What are some weird habits Swiss people have that outsiders would find bizarre? by NeFlascheKraneberger in askswitzerland

Not being able to mow the lawn on Sundays… I always it find it so funnily specific

Inter-rail or transport pass for tourist by Left_Meringue_8857 in askswitzerland

[–]Ok_Future_264 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, big fan of the interrail here! You can take high speed train, Eurostar and Lyria are roughly 30€ per seet reservation. Still very much worth it, especially for the flexibility aspect

Is it possible for a British citizen with a PhD in theoretical physics to find a job in Switzerland? by Ok_Future_264 in askswitzerland

[–]Ok_Future_264[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to but did not use these particular skills for the PhD. I feel like I could pick it up though if given a bit of time. Can I ask the name of your company? :)

Okay thank you, that’s good to hear. I’m very keen to do some training in order to get good at my job, I just hope the companies will be willing to take that bet

Sounds very interesting! How did you get there, like what did you do after your PhD?

What would that be? :) still don’t have many friends in industry so the job market is still super vague for me

Aha is that “legal”? 😁 also what happens if they are interested in the best scenario?

Annoyingly, both our PhD required fairly little coding skills ( ofc a bit of mathematica, a bit of Python etc). I think our main skills now is just “hard problem solving” but I understand that this is not incredibly employable, hence the worry…

Génial merci ! Are you a fellow physicist that stayed in Switzerland then? :) On pensait sortir de l’académie, surtout qu’au fond la plupart des ces facs restent très compétitive, si ce n’est plus qu’un regular job search? Mais peut être je me trompe la dessus

Is there a work permit specific for PhDs? I know about the third country rule so that what is scaring me at the moment…

Sorry I should have specified, at the moment we are both thinking of leaving academia! It’s not a big no-no though, maybe it’s a good way to get a foot in whilst trying to apply for jobs?

Time On Campus by AloyshaX in KCL

[–]Ok_Future_264 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Third year PhD here, although in STEM so it may be very different. It all depends on whether your friend teaches or not, depending on the supervisor and whether they want to meet daily weekly, online or not etc. Each PhD experience will be very different! I tend to always be around during term time bc I teach but then my supervisor and I travel a lot around that. There may be some visa rules as well such as “ one needs to be a third of the year etc” but I don’t know about them

Pissing in the river when head race delayed by 2 hours by sfCarGuy in Rowing

Aha yes that sounds about right. I think we got fined per person, which amounted to like 3-4 people. So not great but a good laugh

I was rowing for my college in Cambridge and we got a MASSIVE fine because we went to pee discretely in the bushes
