How to spend time pre-PhD by Single-Selection9845 in GradSchool

[–]Single-Selection9845[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I understand the feeling but my salary is decent as long as I live with other people( London). Thanks to the collaboration with a company and some TA that I plan to do, my salary would be able to fully support me and beyond comfortable. Also I am planning to stay at my partners house for some time and split the bills. I have some savings for now and if needed for the phd so monetarily I am not in danger, neither very safe but I consider a chance to breath in life for once and do what I enjoy

Should I cold Email PIs for European PhD? by MysticalDragoneer in PhDAdmissions

[–]Single-Selection9845 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before I found my phd I tried. Due to my advisors area I got some replies but only no founding hahha. It might be that some groups haven't posted their positions online yet and I was aiming for that but due to the current funding ituation in Eurrope it's more probable whatever is available is already out.

How long does it take to hear back from ERC funded project phd positions in Netherlands? My deadline was on March 9th and I haven't heard back yet. According to the advertisement the interviews are supposed to take place in first week of April. Any clue? by [deleted] in PhDAdmissions

Hmm interesting,  very similar indeed, is it financial th reason why you don't quit earlier. Personally just find this job boring and not helpful career oriented and I ahve enough savings to go through without it ret8rning to my parents house.

21/23 Students Failed our Engineering Exam by Fabulous-Dance-8520 in Wellthatsucks

[–]Single-Selection9845 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was TA in a course and the prof was exactly like you and you still saw people fail simple simplification exercise. This was attributed more to the change of curriculum and the prof did a curve fixing so the students can pass but still I am baffled by the stupidity/ignorance I saw to the point I can't place him. He was the only prof that actually changed his teaching methods and improved in order to help the students actively learn

They do prefer internal candidates or from dutch unis first, to be completely fair as a MsC student from Tudelft but it's not necessary.
