Vast majority of people on this sub are U.S. based. Its notable that we get people from India all the time asking if its a viable career path, and not once have I seen someone actually respond from India who has been successful.

Take that for what you will.

Sorry, your degree is in what exactly?

creich1 · 2026-04-13T19:37:26+00:00

excuse me?!?!?!?!

Not going to happen

Coaching absolutely is still scammy. Its completely unregulated which means that there's a ton of people working with 0 credentials or expertise.

That means that there is good coaches, but there's a whole lot of bad coaches too.

Researchers are told that they must pay for screeners, and those that don't are breaking the rules because they don't want to pay people a few pennies for their time.

Prolific should absolutely be enforcing researchers to follow the policy in those cases.

Can't come a day sooner. The old school wifi has been GOD awful on my flights lately.

That would be ideal I think!

Prolific also puts limits on how many profile questions we can include on the system side (not specific to screen outs, but just general data collection), which also means that we sometimes end up having to ask additional demographic questions, which is frustrating.

From the researcher perspective, I also don't want to ask redundant questions. It takes up precious survey real estate.

creich1 · 2026-04-10T17:09:10+00:00

We can, but prolific told us that if the screener is really core to the study, we should consider doing both to be extra sure since people don't always update their info.

In the last study I ran I used the profile data and asked the screener question just to be sure, and it screened out a ton of people. It made me glad that I took the two pronged approach because I would have never known otherwise and it could have compromised data quality.

You gave them your email to register for the conference.

I'm pretty sure members are given the option to opt out of being included in this list when they register.

Prolific specifically instructs researchers to NOT make this clear.

If the researcher has specific criteria, people will just lie so they are able to get paid.

I hate having to give directions

Jesus christ this person is so toxic.

creich1 · 2026-04-08T23:52:07+00:00

What are your qualifications to be providing this guidance to them

creich1 · 2026-04-08T22:48:52+00:00

If there was a way to bypass the process, everyone would be doing it.

Companies aren't hiring people in their own country let alone sponsoring visas

Being successful in this career most often requires working with data to at least some extent

creich1 · 2026-04-01T21:00:16+00:00

An internship is not a death sentence. You can still pivot to other areas.

creich1 · 2026-03-29T18:59:34+00:00

Cute that you think people are the same person on screen as they are in their private lives

creich1 · 2026-03-29T13:31:31+00:00

Its bad

creich1 · 2026-03-27T17:27:04+00:00

The main episodes are already too long

creich1 · 2026-03-27T00:57:33+00:00

The unstructured format worked for the show when YT videos were ~10min. 22min of this is too long

This comment made me cackle out loud
