      1. I’m not saying receiving more positive feedback would have changed my decision to stay in academia But it would definitely have helped to reduce the gap between the two alternatives, especially at the beginning of my PhD @cameron_pfiffer/1377309591587844105

      One of the first feedback I’ve ever received at the beginning of my PhD was literally "you cannot expect more than a mediocre career" Then why would I put any substantial effort to do a good PhD then, if regardless of my effort I’m doomed to a "mediocre career"?

    Sometimes it feels like I didn’t had a chance, as if the occasion to show to the world and to myself what I’m capable of as a potential researcher never really materialized during my PhD It’s frustrating as hell, and I’m not sure I made peace with this – yet
