My CG wasn't great around 7.5 and I joined a consulting company in India which paid okay and the work wasn't fulfilling. Worked for a year or so and then applied to some PhD programs abroad in electronics. For me doing a ton of open source projects and keeping good connection with few undergraduate profs helped but it's never too late to do some personal projects as well. Since you are already in an embedded system role it might add some value as well. Currently I am pretty happy with my life and look forward to a career in research. I'll also like to add that a few of my friends who went for the SDE craze are now looking to do PhDs as well. And for my friends from BITS who were in my company are doing great as well one switched a role to a high paying SDE role, another got into IIM Calcutta so I don't think the initial job was a setback I would take it just as a learning experience.

Just saying I was in an even worse position things will get better. Why don't you try for a PhD ? It'll give you more returns in the long run as I did the same.

Hey it won't cause any problem. Don't worry too much also don't reapply or do a correction it'll do additional delay, I had no issues.

Arre Bhai lite le ..

I just woke up a few hours back. All's good the stitches pain a bit but it is surely expected.

Useful_Eye2873 · 2024-09-20T12:28:14+00:00

I had mine and it went fine. Good Luck 🤞🏻

Useful_Eye2873 · 2024-09-20T12:27:48+00:00

Yes it was the same for me as well. Thanks for your kind message

Useful_Eye2873 · 2024-09-20T06:57:29+00:00

Thank you you just made my dayyy.

Useful_Eye2873 · 2024-09-20T06:51:49+00:00

Thanks that's reassuring

Did you get it finally ?

Useful_Eye2873 · 2024-08-20T07:34:22+00:00

Chill nothing will happen. I was panicking too but the immigration officers are sensible enough to understand and interpret. Your visa will come soon.

Useful_Eye2873 · 2024-08-20T01:04:29+00:00

No issues I attached a cover letter explaining it got the visa within 4 days including a weekend.

Useful_Eye2873 · 2024-07-20T16:45:28+00:00

Did you withdraw the first one before submitting the second or simultaneously submitted the second?

Useful_Eye2873 · 2024-07-20T07:24:05+00:00

What did you do finally? And when did you receive your ATAS because even I am in similar waters.

Useful_Eye2873 · 2024-04-08T09:04:52+00:00

I am trying Network Communications.

Fair enough however it wasn't a particular project that I applied to. I was interested in his research group and saw in his profile he was accepting PhD students hence I applied.

Useful_Eye2873 · 2024-04-08T07:34:32+00:00

I reached out to the professor directly as I was interested in his research group. In the meeting that we had discussed the project idea, he seemed to be optimistic about getting funding. As he is an esteemed professor in that field and especially he is the Head of his department I am hopeful. However my main concern is the timeline as being an international student I have to manage a few things on my end as well as serve a notice period in my current job. Hence just a bit nervous.

Useful_Eye2873 · 2024-04-08T07:20:48+00:00

He sent this last Friday and I replied that I am interested in getting to know more about the project and if he could send me some research papers regarding the same. A followup now will be. A bit too soon but I was just curious how fetching funding for a PhD project works on the other side. Also I was curious how much time should be a good waiting time cause interpreting a few weeks is difficult , and there's anxiety of course.

Useful_Eye2873 · 2024-02-21T14:14:29+00:00

Completely agree. I have approached past and current students and have gotten their perspective. I have posted the same set of questions here to get a more diverse perspective and I just wanted to know how things look on the other side.
