Hi /sci/. So, I finally landed an assistant prof position. It's in machine learning. AMA. Maybe, I can drop my 2 cents on PhD/PD frustration.

I can say at once, it was hard and, unfortunately, there is no direct way. Everyone have to rely on luck which sucks. The academia job market is hell. Someone on /mg/ posted a graph of his appies. Something like that does it look like. A lot of lost effort, unfortunately.
