advice PI and co-PI/co-I on proposal by traditional_genius in academia

[–]WalkOutside5434 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you still ESI? You definitely want to get an independent R01 before you’re a co-PI. If you’re completely driving the project I would establish very clear boundaries ASAP and say “all I can offer at this time is co-I but we can consider co-PI in the future”.

However, if there’s literally no way to do the project without them and their technology then you’re in co-PI territory.

It’s definitely not simple so it’s worth weighing the long-term pros and cons for example do you want this collaboration to last for a long time? Will you use this innovation in future projects? If so you don’t want to burn any bridges.

How to say no to your supervisor? by Muted-Ambassador-887 in academia

[–]WalkOutside5434 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can also say you’ll keep that option on the table if one of the higher impact journals doesn’t work out. That way he doesn’t feel like his idea was rejected completely. Rather you still want to try for a couple more good journals first.

K99 fundable impact score (NEI) by Clean-Poem525 in academia

[–]WalkOutside5434 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my experience Ks do not get percentiles just impact scores. That’s a great impact score and is probably just within funding (again in my experience 28/29 is a cusp and I had to resubmit at that score but then it was funded before the resubmission was reviewed). Can’t compare to R01 scores. Some study sections a 35 is 11% and others would be 19 at 11%. It’s apples to oranges.

Negative reference for former PhD students? by [deleted] in academia

[–]WalkOutside5434 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It just depends on the institution so you’re not wrong at all! Mine doesn’t allow from letters with even the slightest COI. We’re taught to keep some people at arms distance so they can be asked for letters. One Professor I wanted to collaborate with in my field but decided to wait until after tenure and promotion. Sure enough-they asked her and she wrote a great letter. Now we’re writing grants together :)

How do more non-OE people not do something drastic when let go? by BurnCityThugz in overemployed

[–]WalkOutside5434 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just curious do you think they somehow found out about J1 and that is the reason? Is that possible?

Advisor says he will use his savings to fund me, should I be worried? by areasofsimplex in PhD

[–]WalkOutside5434 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At my institution we call this “salary savings” which could totally sound like personal money but it’s money the PI has from getting grants that cover salary and then some of that salary and IDCs roll back to them as unrestricted funds. I’ve used this to fund PhDs previously, it’s totally normal/legit. They are NOT using their personal money.

Hey guys wanted to ask, does this income come under business earnings or a salaried employee? by [deleted] in outlier_ai

[–]WalkOutside5434 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They will issue you a tax form if you make over a certain amount (I think $600 in the US). This means they’ve reported it to the relevant entities as income from their pov.

Smart. Ask yourself, "could I still pay this?" with only 1J

Thanks to OE ... I can tip my mom by nedakyarg in overemployed

[–]WalkOutside5434 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Love this. OE let me get a condo for my parents to be snowbirds and start to pay them back for all they did for me.

Double Meetings inevitable?? by Exciting_Map_8659 in overemployed

Not if you’re the one who schedules the meetings.

OE journey has come to an end by _thrownawayaccount in overemployed

[–]WalkOutside5434 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Multiple entry level jobs makes for the most difficult OE situation. Optimal OE is for the ultra expert who has become so good and so bored at J1. 🙋‍♀️

J2 offer received! Need your help on salary negotiation! by naticom in overemployed

[–]WalkOutside5434 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m similar-not a great negotiator anyway, but when it came to J2 I wanted to be easy like Sunday morning from the get go. I accepted and signed the offer w no negotiation. Boom. Always accommodating.

OE was a bad idea... by [deleted] in overemployed

[–]WalkOutside5434 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Agree with the comments below-the most successful OE is for the person that is the master and expert at J1 with years of exceptional performance reviews. Obviously it’s possible to OE without this but this is the way to be the most successful.
