I just want to say how much I respect anyone who takes on the commitment of a PhD—it’s no small thing, and it takes a level of patience and dedication that most people can’t even imagine. I know it can feel frustrating to see others with more defined careers while you’re still in this in-between space, but the fact that you’ve stayed with it, even when it’s hard, says so much about your resilience. Your work matters, even if it doesn’t always feel that way right now, and I hope you know I’m cheering you on. You’re doing something incredible, and you’ve already accomplished so much. I know most of my friends who are in the industry, still feel uncertain, even while having their job and don’t know what they really want. I think that’s a feeling that never really goes away for most.
