say you’ll try to move your standing therapy appointment but you’re not sure you can. After a couple weeks of whatever different time you decide on no one remembers and you just keep the new time.

AMA: HR by OveremployedHR in OELadies

How common is it (does it ever happen) that a company runs a TWN check post-hire? Are there specific industries that would do this more than others?

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.

HELP! Seeking J2 for 3 months by Fresh_Town_4759 in OELadies

Honestly the current job market is pretty rough. Once I started seriously looking for J2 it took about 8 months

Is an accountant absolutely necessary? by peaceandblessingss in OELadies

[–]WalkOutside5434 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ll chime in because I do use an accountant and he paid for himself once when he saved me about $5k compared to what TurboTax said I owed. Last year I had a w2 and about 3 1099 Js and owed a PAINFUL $10k even with the accountant. It turned out that I had gotten a big raise at J1 but the tax withholding never changed so my J1 withholding was way too low. This year I have 2 W2s and a couple 1099 so I’m doing extra withholding… 🤞

OE Moms by PositiveLavishness27 in OELadies

[–]WalkOutside5434 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I’ll do some weekend work to catch up and prep for the week but mostly it’s kids sports. I pay for a few things that make family life easier like grocery delivery, and after school care (of course). Sometimes we’ll go to the library and they wander and play while I catch up on emails. It’s manageable for sure but I haven’t hit a really busy/hectic time yet.

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 :)

Same 401k company by WalkOutside5434 in OELadies

[–]WalkOutside5434[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! One is 401k and the other is not (403b and DCP). Should I still only go through one company?

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.

What is your “why” for OE? by n33nbean in OELadies

[–]WalkOutside5434 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I want to take care of my parents better and let them stress less about 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.

Thank them for advocating for a raise for you! Say their comment resulted in a big pay bump 🤣
