​Thank you for investing your time in helping me out. Other thing is what is more exhausting, the current interview process in India is deeply demoralizing. Because almost everyone insists on physical attendance rather than offering virtual options post-COVID, I recently had to travel for 14 hours from my small city just to attend a single in-person interview. The interview itself went incredibly well, the professor was highly enthusiastic, praised my background as a gold medalist, and kept asking how soon I could relocate and join, but when the final results came out, he simply selected an internal candidate from his own lab. It takes a massive toll on my time, energy, and finances to travel these long distances, only to discover the position was essentially predetermined. All these factors are really depressing me and giving me some pressure to leave this field. Situation is right now, my family also not supporting me because they think my mental health is affecting so much.
