It's amazing how your journey has in many ways mirrored my own (we even started at almost the same time). I'm also now starting to learn more about how to move (or at least get other offers). I'm not quite a two R01 lab yet (maybe 1.5 equivalent), but 2019 is all about submitting more proposals to hopefully make myself a more attractive candidate if/when I hit another one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2544393461869133373.post-88595374461959413112019-02-08T15:11:44.427-05:002019-02-08T15:11:44.427-05:00Amen to that!

So I'm afraid that it's truly necessary to live this double agent life until you've signed the letter. The thing I hate the most about academia is how long everything takes. <br /><br />Nothing seems to be happening fast enough (including waiting for my current institute to change).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2544393461869133373.post-73903606240228256632019-02-05T11:31:51.304-05:002019-02-05T11:31:51.304-05:00I get it both from your point of view and your for...I get it both from your point of view and your former mentor point of view. Of course, she would have wanted you to help, but it's a risk that we take when we decide to move that our people will do what is best for them. Everyone deals with it differently. At the end you have your grant and personnel and you need to do what is best for your project and your career.The new PIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10432035024665768151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2544393461869133373.post-8209595776093744542019-02-05T11:08:20.614-05:002019-02-05T11:08:20.614-05:00This is a great post.

As she is my primary mentor I was little annoyed and obviously worried for my own career. Of course she tried to talk me into going which I can't (family and love my department). I actually sought out a new mentor and things fell in place so fast (like one week) that I just told my soon to be gone mentor I am laving next week for the new mentor with my equipment and RA. We only have one paper which i will obviously tie up. <br /><br />Now the soon to be gone mentor is:<br />1. Acting shocked I am leaving next week...umm...so I was not the one who announced I am leaving.<br />2. Also I think was expected me to do more of their work for their current work before she leaves.<br /><br />Should I feel bad? I am not sure why now she feels like I am the one who is the bad guy. In the end I need to continue my work as I am aiming to submit my first R01 next year. This new mentor (who I knew from before and very psyched) will def open doors for me. I mean is it my obligation to stay longer?<br /><br />Anyways I love your post and going via them all nowAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
