Good news! Was curious to see how this panned out, and apparently it did in the best possible way.

Don’t come for me like that???

I also love being called bean :)

Sorry to hear you didn’t feel at home in NL but honestly I completely understand. Best of luck with the move!

Yes reddit sucks but also what are you talking about?

Thanks :)))

Materialised myself just for this, behold me!!!

Don’t forget OP, your friends can be wrong (even if they mean well) and NO one can tell you who you are or what your gender is except for yourself. How you feel inside is valid. If you don’t quite know for sure how you feel yet, that’s also valid. And who knows, they’ll probably come around to the idea of you being nonbinary once you grow more confident in your gender and radiate it into the world in an undeniable fashion 💜💛🤍🖤🩵🤍🩷

Thank you! I start in March so I still have a month to chill (finally).

Landed a job finally, just waiting for the contract to come in. I managed to negotiate additional salary as well so I’m very proud of myself :)))

Love that

Welcome, new academia dropout! Trust me, it’s better this way. I’m sorry to hear you had to deal with hubris and narcissism. Not surprisingly also my least favourite part about it and indirectly the reason I ended up quitting my PhD.

My supervisors were a married couple and all my work was rated facing a team of 2 people who would always take each other’s side and were never open to hearing my perspective on my own work. The graduate school later informed me they never should have been my only supervisors. Yay for paying it forward I guess.

Anyway, it might still be a little fresh but when applying for positions outside of academia, start thinking about how to phrase your challenges or hangups there as avenues for personal growth. Corporate loves that shit.

Good luck out there!
