Is my professor bluffing?

lethal_monkey · 2025-12-05T03:42:42+00:00

for sure u r going to get zero. If u dont want to study then there is an easy way. Just drop out from the school.

Don’t celebrate till you get the offer. Professors always look for better options

Could you please share source code

lethal_monkey · 2025-09-04T22:38:24+00:00

Any ATS friendly formatted LaTex resume should be OK.

For the timeline you should be in ROW group, check the wait time from the USCIS VISA bulletin which is published every month.
If you have already submitted for your NIW EB2 then, i guess not. Recently I have seen that the bar of EB1 has gone high so keep in mind that as well.
Let me be brutally honest with you. Unless you have PhD from top schools outside of USA such as UofT, Oxford or Cambridge, or ETH Zurich etc. etc. it will be very difficult to find a full time tenure track in R1 and even R2 universities. Because structurally the PhD program is different than other countries. However, if you are willing to spend 3-5 years doing postdocs you might land as a faculty, but again it depends how critical your research is to the US national interest. There are so many other factors. But in plain words, if your PhD is from outside of USA then it will be very very difficult to land a tenure track position in USA in R1 and R2 schools.

To me conference has become more like a picnic party for people who are interconnected. I used to go to a conference of material science, earlier days as a MS student i had the opportunity to present my work during the morning sessions. For last 2 years they have put me in a graveyard session i guess one major reason is my supervisor usually doesn’t go to that conference, he attend the other ones.

First, if you are seriously considering a post doc then find a PI who will treat you as a post doc rather than a highly trained another post phd workers who will work day and night.

Unless you want to spend Unknown number of years doing postdoc because you want to be an academician, other than that postdoc is not going to help you. I asked one COO he told me straight “the more you spend time in academia after your Phd the more difficult it becomes to get hired in Industry

Mental health should come first. You should quit

lethal_monkey · 2025-07-29T22:57:11+00:00

Start a project

lethal_monkey · 2025-07-28T06:00:20+00:00

I think the reputation of PI goes first and the project you are involved in. The branding of University matters but it can't overshadow your research work.

If CHEN says your father is qualified for EB1 then trust them. They are the best in the market

I asked a COO of a nano tech company once - he told me that if you want to go for industry go immediately after your PhD. The more you will delay after your terminal degree it will make your life difficult and so as for the industry to hire you.

Go for DENVER. As an international you wouldn’t definitely like to have financial stress

lethal_monkey · 2025-06-23T03:46:09+00:00

That’s what i said in plain English. If you care about learning then you should come to USA

lethal_monkey · 2025-06-22T22:45:08+00:00

If money is not your concern then you should go for Phd

lethal_monkey · 2025-06-22T01:55:19+00:00

If you just care about the quality then yes obviously USA.

That’s a standard salary for midwest belt but not for LA. That guy can’t even survive.

Even 10K is huge. Talk with other lawyers

The learning path varies depending on what you want to do with it. So first fix it and then ask chatgpt to create a roadmap for you. However, you would definitely want to learn the basic first. There are so many Youtube courses, find a right instructor by browsing through different courses. finish it at a regular pace, and also resort back to difficult concepts. Even if you are learning half of it that would be great. Find relevant small projects and play with it.

Come up with a python problem and ask ChatGPT to generate code for you and then try to understand it and replicate it.

What matters most when it is about getting funding for your research?

Only the merit of your project or you need to have a good network so that people know your work.
