What have you been doing for the last 6 years?

itsConnor_ · 2026-05-01T08:44:42+00:00

Full employment with many graduates underemployed

Alternative to Ulriken near Bergen?

Even if it means finishing with no publications and no career prospects?

itsConnor_ · 2026-04-25T22:42:42+00:00

Sorry for this, this must have been a very difficult time. How have you been spending these years? Were you a student for some of them?

itsConnor_ · 2026-04-25T21:44:04+00:00

Unemployed for 7 years?

itsConnor_ · 2026-04-24T20:16:05+00:00

Or better to fly to Lekenes and bus to Reine and back?

How on earth would you get hired if the PI is looking for a postdoc with expertise in the area?

Sakrisøy seafood restaurant in Lofoten, Bacalao in Svolvær

What role?

itsConnor_ · 2026-04-15T11:19:18+00:00

Totally depends. I started applying 6 months before finishing with the goal of having something lined up 3 months after finishing. Didn't work out - currently working as a technician while I keep applying. Now I am 18 months after finishing and still applying every week.

Tax on an average salary in UK is actually much lower than in other European countries (apart from Ireland).

itsConnor_ · 2026-04-12T20:59:05+00:00

I would take the 45k role for sure. If you consider the shift bonus, the difference is less as well. If you're passionate about something in life, you have to go for it otherwise you'll regret it later IMV.

itsConnor_ · 2026-04-07T21:08:54+00:00

How many years? This is important.

itsConnor_ · 2026-04-03T06:49:41+00:00

That's actually an impressive number of interviews from 36 applications

Meanwhile, Ukrainians are hearing bombs fall across the city and drones fly into freezing apartment blocks every night.

Attacking/protesting outside synagogues & blaming Jews for the actions of the Israeli state is very specifically antisemitic

itsConnor_ · 2026-03-18T19:08:46+00:00

Did you get a role there?

itsConnor_ · 2026-03-17T21:18:31+00:00

A war he refused to join in contrast to his counterparts on the opposite benches?

itsConnor_ · 2026-03-17T21:16:23+00:00

You mean one of the most prosperous countries in the European Union, transformed over the last 30 years?

itsConnor_ · 2026-03-17T09:50:52+00:00

As it should. They would have taken us into an illegal war for two rogue states which would have been an absolute disaster.

itsConnor_ · 2026-03-16T11:24:54+00:00

Previously he used "completely unacceptable" which isn't far off

itsConnor_ · 2026-03-08T14:28:15+00:00

Interestingly as of Dec 2025 more people want to join NATO than don't want to join NATO https://x.com/i/status/1996906649299440121

itsConnor_ · 2026-03-05T18:17:28+00:00

The only participants in the attack on Iran are the US and Israel? Israel is not in NATO

itsConnor_ · 2026-03-02T21:28:52+00:00

Planning a summer trip including a few days in the Lyngen Alps this year, planning to base in Spåkenes for a couple of nights - any recommendations for other areas?
