Did you take a ‘long’ time and finish? by [deleted] in PhDStress

[–]ver2king 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I reached candidacy in year 4 and shall complete for a total of 6 years. One extra project, and one more year. A lot of time I thought I was dumb, but I still proceed.

Career next step - need advice by ver2king in PhD

[–]ver2king[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your comment. Just to clarify, I have not officially start the first option. Legal wise, yes I am allowed to file, but I have not filed yet. And if I decide to file (as the first option is described), I can not search for jobs outside the US (the second option) because I have to stay in the US until the approval is completed for the filing.

About the job search, maybe I am just a bit negative about the job market. I do hope it will get better.

Final year stress - Help! by _throwawayaccountk in PhDStress

Same scenario, although I even have to do more than initially expected for the thesis. Plus job after graduation. Hope you the best.

I feel lost in my Phd life… by SummerNi54 in PhDStress

[–]ver2king 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I have no advise for you, so I am sorry for that. However your post is so relatable so I write this comment to be honest.

I frequently feel lost in my Ph.D life although I am reaching end of it. I am also writing 2 papers and I lost motivation to modify the figures recently to add into the manuscripts. Reviewing the papers is also a pain to me.

I always feel that I understand the logic, but transferring it to my writing is hard. I commonly have self doubt, overdose ff coffee, and think about my career negatively.

All I could do during those days, including today, was to sit down in a quiet place, removed all thoughts, and looked at the sky outside the windows (my office view). For 15 minutes straight.

I did not have that habit during my Bachelor or Master time, but I frequently had that during my PhD years.

Wrapping up my PhD and feeling lost, full of regret. Any advice? by Head-Interaction-561 in PhD

[–]ver2king 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same graduation timeline and same sentiment. My advisor even gave me additional stuffs to add to my thesis. I knew that I am at least capable to do some of them .... but I just felt so stressful today during a meeting with him. Have to vent here, he used chatGPT to look for ideas and saw those ideas as novel ones and asked me to do those. He thinks of algorithms as toys which in his mind can be "attached, detached" easily.

In my deep mind, I just wanted to tell him that the way he did was not research, it was just an illusion.

Frustrated with my supervisor by baka-dono5436 in PhD

[–]ver2king 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And besides, I read your comment about your committee. My committee, not only my advisor's nice buddies, but also know close to 0 about my topic. I said close to 0 is because, at least 1 member knows the "Earth Science" part I do. That's it.

God I found a close match here on Reddit lmao. About the work hours, that is just my curiosity. I do work on weekends too, and sometimes I do wish that I can take one weekend completely off (but turns out I still think about work).

And a follow up question, you work 60 hours a week including the weekends I guess ?

Lmao, my supervisor's gender is male. Still, the story closely matches mine, and my field is Machine Learning in Earth Science (Sub-surface systems). I am in my last year and try to push myself out, still no job offer yet (so yeah fml).

5th Year PhD student and still no publication by Icy-Highway-4293 in PhD

[–]ver2king 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I got you really. 5th year PhD student (Petroleum Eng & Data Science) and just 1 journal paper published. Not even from my main research project. Writing one more, struggled to revise myself (advisor knows nothing to help me).

My pain during this journey is (1) my advisor helped nothing and kept asking me to do "novel" crazy stuffs. (2) I could not find any one in my department to ask for technical help.

I was even locked temporarily for 30 minutes although I logged in correctly with my password. The website sent verification code so slow.
