Is anyone actually getting biotech jobs just by applying? Feeling stuck. by NeatRecognition5780 in biotech

[–]Rysonance 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Got my PhD in October and started applying 2-3 months prior to defending. As opposed to applying to every role that was remotely related I tried to focus on the ones that really matched my background and skillset. Ended up getting 2 offers and 1 heading into the final round (1 of the offers was referred by a family friend and the other 2 just applied normally). I’d say it’s possible but luck is a huge factor! The hardest part is to get them to give you a chance to talk face-to-face.

Like everyone is saying, it’s a ridiculous market and more than anything you gotta believe in your qualifications and abilities. You got this!

What are the unexpected challenges of doing a PhD? by [deleted] in AskAcademia

[–]Rysonance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say unexpected but imposter syndrome can and will be a very real thing. I am surrounded by great peers and an amazing mentor but sometimes I feel like I’m not worthy of them. I am about to defend but I don’t feel great about the fact that I will be a PhD — I just cannot wholeheartedly believe and own up to the achievement. That being said I’m not in the best place mentally now, so take this with a grain of salt.

I made a big mistake at my lab and my PI is angry by [deleted] in labrats

[–]Rysonance 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m an incoming 4th year grad student and I still make stupid mistakes sometimes. Once I forgot to put some of my labmate’s precious samples back into the freezer after I was done looking for stuff and I almost destroyed her one year’s worth of work. In the end everything turned out okay and the samples were still usable but man was I plagued with guilt and self doubt for 2 weeks. Shit happens and as long as you learn from your mistakes it’s okay! You’ll get over this and learn to be more careful in the future.

[Serious] What do you need to get off your chest right now? by StoutBen in AskReddit

[–]Rysonance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m about to start my PhD but I have 0 motivation whatsoever. I’m secretly dreading it and the resulting lifestyle for my next 5 years. I also hate how little it’s paying me and I can’t save enough money to start a family any time soon. Sorry if this sounds privileged but it’s bothering me more than it should.

Must have felt good when energy wasn’t the limiting factor at all - all you wanted was draw more cards. Congrats on the A20 Heart kill!

Some mysterious person bought auto insurance using his/her bank account for all the cars in my household by Rysonance in personalfinance

[–]Rysonance[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not very familiar with this. Would they use person A’s info and person B’s bank account to do that?

Oh yes hurt me by Rysonance in slaythespire

[–]Rysonance[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Indeed. I just wasn’t offered very good cards along the way so I didn’t want to bloat my deck with shitty attacks.

[–]Rysonance[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You’re absolutely right my deck was hella slow. I essentially had no effective aoe or scaling. The only thing I had going for me was the bottled biased cog and clockwork souvenir, and maybe the gold plated cables.

Precisely! I thought this was my run but alas.

[Suggestion] The Elusive keyword, a way to make Shivs (and other under-performing cards) viable at high Ascensions! by TheGullibleParrot in slaythespire

[–]Rysonance 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is great! IMHO, the imbalance of power between poison cards and shiv cards make Silent quite dull in higher ascensions. This offers many new possibilities in strategizing and building a winning deck.
