We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.
Note that what you find here is written and moderated by anonymous people on the internet.
Therefore everything you read here is very likely unverified, rumour, speculation and/or downright false.
In continuing to read anything here, you must therefore agree not to take anything you read here as factual and that you will exercise due caution, diligence and common sense before acting on any information you may come across here.
You also agree to report any inaccurate or malicious comments with the buttons. Moderators take action within 24 hours, as required and appropriate under law.
Our full terms and conditions apply too.
Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
- PhD is at a crucial juncture. 3 years later, the uni has asked me to rework on the proposal again.
- Papers stuck in the review cycle while others publish 2-3 papers.
- Working at a private uni in a research role. Every application to the uni I'm doing PhD results in failure. Every application to a half decent plance also results in no response, reminding me of my UG days. I've even stopped applying.
Overall, it feels I'm stuck in a rut. Leaving academia is also not possible without generational wealth.
