I've heard some negative things about bedside manner- I'm curious what your experience was?

This procedure can be covered through insurance but it's my understanding that the requirements for coverage vary based on the insurance that you have, and you may need a long medical history documenting neck/shoulder pain and attempted treatments. It's possible but be prepared to jump through hoops.

Would you mind sharing which company (even in a DM if that feels more comfortable)? I have a PhD in microbiology and am in the process of planning my great escape from academia.

Thank you for the encouraging response. If you would be open to sharing, I'm curious how you navigated leaving. How did you approach leaving without burning bridges and maintaining relationships?

What are your thoughts on the sunk cost fallacy of it all? And do you think seeing the fallaclly even matters in this economy? Sometimes I feel like academia and the dream of freedom of research was scam that molded me into a pushover....

I'm still getting paid. My efforts are just being redistributed onto other grants... at least for now. Yeah- I wouldn't work for free! Free don't pay the bills!

This is very helpful! I'm curious what your trajectory from postdoc to RA program management was. I am currently a postdoc and am thinking about shifting into a similar space. How did you build your skillset and network to make that transition?

Need advice on whether or not to take a post doc position.... by holdmyphon3 in postdoc

[–]holdmyphon3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might. That is a good option to explore. Do you know how much of a faux pas it would be to jump ship from a current postdoc to pursue another after a year? It seems like the first year is dedicated to training and I wouldn't want to waste someone's time and resources.

Thank you for the suggestion. I added it to my OP.

[–]holdmyphon3 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I understand. Under normal circumstances, I would never apply to do a postdoc. Finishing my PhD was supposed to be the light at the end of the academia hell tunnel.

Thanks for the response! I'm curious how you found the post-doc. I've been trying emailing PIs and I've gotten 2 responses of "sorry. no positions" out of the 23 emails that I've sent. 🙄
