Quite anxious recently.
I feel the need to consider my options for the next step after the master’s degree seriously but couldn’t manage to multitask like some others – finding industry jobs while completing the dissertation project. I do have the aim to finish the whole dissertation project two weeks prior to the deadline, and the nature of my project requires quite a lot of additional background knowledge in neuroscience.
Time management is an eternal topic in this blog, but at least there’s some improvements compared to few years ago, now is trying to do more than few different jobs in a day consistently, while before was struggling to even finish the bare minimum.
I do hope that everything of this master degree can be finished within my self-defined shortened timeframe, so I can enjoy some holiday next month without thinking about the last bit of the writing of proofreading my writings.
I should talk more to the industry people and recruiters. And what about the PhD, is it still worth it in the current state that a lot of researchers are working for the industry with higher pay? – talking about CS field of course.
I guess the core of the anxiety is fear of losing many opportunities in industry when trying to complete one task at a time – even when the current task is a tiny bit harder than other people’s. This sounds greedy and probably is. I tell myself that in a few years looking back, this might be nothing mentionable or important compared to the decisions I must make in a few years later, but is it? Does it set the trajectory from this point on?
Fuck I need to be better.
