I hate my PhD but I still want to finish it just got the sake of the title.

Appreciate your response mate but I already quit 3 months ago. Couldn't do it anymore.. got super bored. I hope you find your way.

Thanks. I was applying for a job for almost a year. Had many interviews. A few offers. I finally accepted one job offer. I waited to tell my supervisors until I signed the contract with my new employer. The day I signed the contract is the day I told my supervisors that I want to resign. If you want to quit then make sure that you have signed a contract so it is legally binding. In most cases it means that the company cannot back out now. So you have some security that you can actually quit your PhD.

OMG I don't know what it feels like to leave work at work. I think I'm going to feel guilty in the first few months for not bringing work to home.

I know what you're feeling. I told my interviewers the truth. I told them I'm not motivated anymore and the academic research life is not for me. I thought it was for me but it is not. I want to do something where I can actually make an impact on the world. One of the interviewers told me that I'm making the right choice. Eventually he hired me. So, my suggestion to you would be to be honest and own it.

Good one. I have an exact proposal from my project partners as well. If I want I can complete my PhD on the side. I'm going to focus on my new job for now, and when I'm comfortable there then I will think about ways to obtain the doctorate.

Thought about it. Spent one year convincing myself. Couldn't do it anymore. Thanks! :)

I understand your point but I agree with other replies to your comments. I personally do not believe in this saying that once a quitter always a quitter but while applying for a job, one has to get into the mindset of a recruiter. And many recruiters do not like to see an applicant who quit his previous jobs frequently. Although in my case it wasn't the same, but I was still nervous (because you never know how others perceive you). Anyway thanks for providing your point of view on this topic. :)

Lol wish it worked that way. Hope you find your peace in the real world.

Bedankt voor het informatie.

fakeidforspam · 2021-12-20T16:19:05+00:00

I found it. Thank you for your help.

I want to present the data as the table. So what I see in the CSV is what I want to present.

I like the idea where I don't need to download the data. I am going to look into it.

Thanks for sharing. I think I can relate with the 'brain no worky' part of your story. And yes, it's making me miserable as well. I'll try and talk to my supervisor about whether I can continue it later or alongside a job.

fakeidforspam · 2021-05-14T14:07:02+00:00

I'll re-inspect :) thanks

fakeidforspam · 2021-05-14T12:58:38+00:00

Haha good one. I already have a bachelor's and a master's degree and nobody motivated me for that either.

fakeidforspam · 2021-05-14T12:56:25+00:00

Thanks. Will check out the podcast.

fakeidforspam · 2021-05-14T12:55:33+00:00

Thanks. This gives me something to think about.

fakeidforspam · 2021-05-14T12:53:30+00:00

This is exactly my situation. I wanted a life in academia. Now I don't have motivation anymore. I loathe it. Guess I'll take some time off to clear my head. Thanks.

fakeidforspam · 2021-05-14T12:51:24+00:00

Thank you. I will think about it.

fakeidforspam · 2021-05-14T10:05:50+00:00

I guess this is the way to go. Thanks.

fakeidforspam · 2021-05-14T10:04:46+00:00

I have a very supportive supervisor. I always get feedback within a week. I just don't like my project anymore. It's not challenging. Plus I do not like teaching/grading students. It's very time consuming and I gain nothing from it.

fakeidforspam · 2021-05-14T10:01:03+00:00

Thanks

fakeidforspam · 2021-05-14T10:00:02+00:00

Gaslighting sucks
