A big part of the reason I went to grad school was to get that golden visa. It’s a lot easier with high degrees. It’s harder for me to travel now, but I don’t regret it. The job seeking though, is pretty rough as is atm. I spoke to a PI about a postdoc and she said she got 60 or so applicants.
Academia was a tough way to make a living even before all of this. It’s a sad state of affairs. Just completely backwards in priorities and ideology. Its always been that way I suppose but in this moment it feels much more acute.
