I'd like to point out that my experience with european PhD advisers (I had two, one trained in France and my current one is German) has been completely opposite to this: I'm allowed to set my own hours, I'm actually encouraged to go to the gym, and while I am expected to work a bit harder when deadlines are near, this extra effort stops the very second the deadline has passed. I also get around 20 working days of vacation. I don't know if it's either a different culture or if only we get to read about the bad experiences and never about the good ones - I read many stories like this one, but I've never heard it from a first-person perspective. In either case, there are places where you are treated decently as a grad student. |
