The Masters Funding Checklist looks really useful—having everything in one place is a great idea. It’s easy to navigate and helps keep track of funding options, which is often a big challenge. One suggestion might be to add more visual elements or color-coded sections to make it even more user-friendly. Other than that, it’s a solid resource! Looking forward to more content from FindAMasters.
It sounds like you're going through a really tough time, and it’s completely normal to feel conflicted. Finishing your Master's could give you the break and confidence you need, and you could always pursue a PhD later when you’re ready. On the other hand, if you're still passionate about your research, pushing through the challenges might be worth it. Trust yourself and take your time to decide what feels best for you. You’ve got support, and that matters a lot.
I get where you're coming from. The transition from PhD to Post Doc can feel isolating, especially when the academic culture doesn’t align with your expectations. If you're considering leaving academia, consulting could be a great fit, or you could explore industries like tech or data science that value your research skills. It’s all about finding a place that recognizes your expertise and offers the balance you’re seeking.
It's great you're considering ethical practices in your research. For independent interviews, it's a good idea to write a brief statement outlining how you'll use the information, even if the institution doesn't provide a formal document. It helps ensure clarity and builds trust with your interviewees.
It sounds like you're in a tough spot with unclear terms and a frustrating committee. If the support isn’t helping and it’s holding you back, it’s okay to step away. However, if you think playing along could help with future opportunities, it might be worth sticking it out. Ultimately, your research, publications, and conferences will matter most for your career, so focus on what advances that. Take care of yourself and prioritize what’s best for your growth.
It sounds really tough, and I get how frustrating this must be. Try breaking down the problem into smaller steps and focus on what you can tackle next. Reach out to classmates or other professors for fresh ideas—they might offer new perspectives. It might also help to have a more direct conversation with your supervisors about what they expect. You’re almost there, so hang in there, and don’t be afraid to ask for support to get through this last stretch.
