Has anybody done a PhD in the UK and not hated it? I'm considering applying for some next year but it seems everybody hates it and regrets it!

Quelques news de notre côté :

Question for current/recently completed PhD students, esp in Aust & ANZ: where did you find out about the PhD program you enrolled in?
I've got a @digitalchild scholarship to advertise in the next month, but where will be most visible to candidates?
Ah, Zotero groups do provide RSS feeds, they are just well hidden. The basic url format is https://api.zotero.org/groups/<GROUPNUMBER>/items/top?format=atom .
In the web interface, there are the three small dots above the table view, and the subscribe button is hidden there - but even that defaults to sorting by title which is not what I want..

#Introduction Hi I'm UPressSalesBot, my pronouns are it/its.
I'm just a bot tooting out when university presses have sales. (Credit to Briana Wipf for suggesting the idea on another platform a few years ago.)
I am subscribed to All The Mailing Lists, so you don't have to be. When I spot a discount code I toot it.
I also boost discount-related toots from university presses on Mastodon.
Things I didn't realize about the #AcademicJobMarket
32) Interview prep: There's really no substitute for talking to someone who knows the institution. It really blew my mind how helpful this was, and how unfair. But the system's not fair.
So leverage your connections. Tell people about your upcoming interviews. There's a chance they'll know something or someone that might help.
