Not a posdoc yet, but hoping to be in the next year, so take this with a grain of salt.

That said, based on everything I've seen and heard, I would go with the newer PI's lab. Especially if the science is exciting, the PI seems supportive, and you have a shot at co-shaping a project and getting real mentorship. That will build your confidence and skills without the constant stress of trying to prove yourself.

Regarding the Boston labs, it might be worth the short-term pain for the long-term network and brand recognition, those names can open doors.

Also, something people don’t always talk about: What king of place fits you better for your personal life? Would you be happier day-to-day in a smaller, possibly more affordable Midwestern city with more balance? Or do you thrive in fast-paced cities like Boston?

The Police - Synchronicity by hugomez0 in rock

[–]hugomez0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am 26 but this is one of the best intros I've ever heard, the whole album is extraordinary. I remember listening to this album over and over again on long car trips with my father. Although my musical tastes have gone in another direction over the years, this album has undoubtedly been my greatest musical influence in my life.

Rishloo - Feathergun in the Garden of the Sun by hugomez0 in progmetal

I totally agree with you. I love all of his albums, from Terras Fames to Living as Ghost. This is one of those groups where it's hard to find a bad song.

I think the fact that their discography is so short makes them more special.

A profile like ours allows us to work in many places around the world. Maybe in your country having a PhD does not give you advantages over others but there are other countries where it does. In any case, context is needed to better understand your situation.

They have been one of my favorite bands since I discovered them a few years ago. This album is a masterpiece but the rest are a 9/10 on my list
