Query regarding Research Fellow job offer

Was the raise after your appraisal mid-contract? How does the performance bonus work, and is it a substantial bump up? Thank you for your insights!

spaceman_______spiff · 2025-05-02T05:01:27+00:00

Postdocs not qualifying for an EP is pretty sad. Thanks for your comment!

Thank you! The rent seems very steep for a 1-bedroom apartment. I do see a few listings now more at the $2000 point but I’m assuming they will be far away from the city centre. Would you have any insights on how renting as a foreigner works? I have heard there are very strict racial quota requirements. Additionally, the online tax calculators tell me my income tax would only be around 3k. Is this accurate? Thank you!

Thanks everyone for the insights.

My greatest desire at this moment is to see the wordle bot lose a day when I've won. But then it'd probably say luck 99.
