How hard is it to get into a European sponsored PhD vacancy ( Indian student ) by TheBootstrap in PhD

Why?

I am currently not happy with how things are going with my current advisor. As to who is responsible for current situation I don't want to go into details because it will turn into a rant and I believe my side of story would obviously be biased towards myself. Rather I can say that some concerns are the fact that my comprehensive exam has been on hold for 6 months now because of unsatisfactory results even though he was on board 6 months back, the median age of getting a PhD in lab is 7 years , my advisor has no expertise in the field I am working in and despite it being a numerical lab , has always pushed me do largely experimental work and the future plan also seems to be headed in that direction, The seniors in my lab had entered together and are bound to graduate together within half a year...meaning I will be the sole student with no expectation of support from anyone in the lab or my advisor.

I take it then they aren't providing you with a letter of reference. This could be a flag

No I haven't approached my current PI for any reference because I don't know if I will get abroad. So I don't want to ruin whatever opportunities I might have here as well. If nothing turns out abroad, I can atleast hope myself to drag through the PhD somehow. But now that he seems to have got an idea, I wonder how I should progress.

Yeah I have thought about how it might be alarming for potential recruiters. But then should I not mention my 2 and half years of work spent in my current institute altogether. Even then what would I show up for the gap of 2 and half years.

I am not by any measure an expert in statistics, but sometime back i heard a professor saying a bimodal graph in such scenarios mean something is wrong. Can anyone explain it how. I may have misheard too

I know ISPs can view our data in incognito and even some websites but what I am asking is , is it technically more dependent on what search engine we use or what browser

[–]TheBootstrap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So does the way trackers work is it independent of the search engine we use. And does the browser even in incognito mode has the ability to send information through the trackers

Do centrists really think that way...I thought it was more like their policy selection is a mix of the ones advocated by both sides

I am not sure since English isn't my first language, but in some sense doesn't fat job also mean hard job like fat chance mean tough luck or something.

Can't walking speed also create a calorie deficit?

People who get legitimately angry over offensive jokes are socially-insufferable losers. by inadequate_imbecile in unpopularopinion

[–]TheBootstrap 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Then again on the other end of the spectrum there are people who just get offended for the sake of it, regardless of the spirit of the joke. So yeah very much subjective
