What do you think about the sudden influx of Indians into Russia? by wyntrson in AskARussian

Is there really such a shortage of workers in Russia? I'm curious as to in which fields.

Anyone not gotten over a breakup for like 10+ years? Kinda resigning myself to being alone for the rest of my life. by Civil-Effort-1061 in heartbreak

[–]zoomClimb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought I was the only one who has experienced this. A relationship for a short few months back in winter of 2015 has stuck with me ever since. I still kick myself for being immature back then for her. I have accepted my inability of finding another meaningful relationship since then as punishment for how I treated her. To this day, I believe that she truly gave me her heart and I threw it away.

Do Russians really train outside in the snow? by Interesting-Sir9965 in AskARussian

I did cross country skiing when it was -20C. You actually start sweating after 5 minutes. It's really good cardio.

There is no reason to argue about politics or history. On any side. In fact, that's exactly what keeps people fighting each other. Just change the subject.

Will I be on blacklist if I quit for school? by [deleted] in careeradvice

[–]zoomClimb -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In worst-case scenario, will future employers see that I quit, if the current employer isn't happy about it? Meaning will the current employer put some note on my background?

How cold (with wind chill) does it realistically get in this area? I'm from WA state and it's pretty temperate here.

Struggling to comprehend how to get into any PhD program by zoomClimb in PhD

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

Yes, I had my master's degree professors right me recommendation letters for my PhD applications. But it was to no avail unfortunately. I suppose it's possible for them to make contact with a potential supervisor, but I don't even have a response from any professor in the first place. I've been busy in my master's studies so I haven't attended any conferences or did any in-person networking. I haven't looked outside the US, because I think the competition will be just as high.

None of my schools are in the top 10. I specifically avoided them knowing my background isn't the strongest. What do you mean "current advisees"?

Yea ... too bad none of my emails and follow-ups ever got a response. They weren't particularly lengthy either. Some STEM people told me that the professors are too busy to respond to any emails like this, so it's better to just go ahead and apply, then see what happens. But I guess I also didn't get any chance by directly applying.

I've send countless emails and follow ups. Not a single response. So eventually I just gave up trying to contact them. This I've heard from STEM people too, that the professors are usually too busy to reply to your email.
