Hello, I'm a PhD student in UK starting on 1st October 2021.
It's just 2 months of my PhD life. I accepted the offer without carefully considering if I suit to the university and my supervisor or not.
Consequently, we didn't have meaningful meetings since he is very new to the field. My current progress is still like the first week I was starting the PhD. The research group I was assigned doesn't relevant to my field. In the meetings, I'm the only one that knows nothing about what they are doing. I tried finding people in this field in the uni but I found none. I am worrying it would not be good for the rest of 3-4 years if I stay here.
Therefore, I'm getting very stressed and anxious now.
I'm also looking for a lab in another university that really suits my field, but I don't know if it's too early to give up here.
Any suggestion for my situation?
