phd vlog | balancing phd & work, citi training, ta-ing, & rejection in academia | ep__002

[@undomiel86]

This summer I applied to 3 post-doc positions and somehow I got the rejection e-mails all in the same day.. woow it was awful. But being an academic is all about "being liked-being disliked" dilemma.. I truly understand what you've been going through - keep on doing what you're doing! ^^

omg i'm so sorry about that! i know they don't coordinate responses but 3 in a day feels so personal. i hope you took some time to process if you needed it.
& thank you for the encouragement 🙂

I just found your channel and I’m super excited! Your Dissertation sounds very interesting so I can wait to follow more of your journey!

it's been busy lately so editing and uploading has proven challenging, but it's nice to know that new people are enjoying. it's definitely encouraging me to get back into it 🙂
