Hi everyone, I'm a neuroscience grad student looking for jobs to support myself. I'm doing my research in autism spectrum disorders but as a master's student, it doesn't pay. I've applied to all kinds of jobs so I thought I'd ask - what kind of roles did you apply for that paid ok? Do you know of any roles where they look for research students? I'm based outside of the US btw.

Hi everyone,I hope this is an ok place to rant because I'm so tired - mentally and physically.

I found a job in the marketing area and it is draining. Not the job as much as the people I work with. I'm very new to the field, but asking questions is bad. I'm good at my job (the results show) but the people around me are rude, hostile, and downright condescending when I ask questions. Even HR is rude, so there's really no one to talk to. The turnover rate is high as well. It's exhausting to deal with this day in day out and feel anxious and dreaded to go into work. That said, I can't quit for now - I need the money and I'm not hearing back from anyone else. Are there people out there who can go into work and just go home without having to deal with all this BS? I'm also seeing a therapist because my self-esteem is at an all-time-low. It's slow but for now I just feel like running away from all of this.

PS I know it's pointless to rant but I just feel so stuck and hopeless.

I'm a neuroscience graduate student. I was visiting home when the pandemic hit and since I couldn't go back immediately, I was forced to take a break from my course.

I've been trained to work with EEG and fMRI analysis. My research focus has been on early cognitive development (signs of linguistic development + empathy). I've been applying for all kinds of jobs I think I can be applicable for.

All the jobs that are for science graduates seem to be hidden away on job boards that are hosted by universities. But I haven't had any luck with start-ups either. The new "science" addition to the job categories on "workatastartup" is nice, but most jobs are only looking for highly experienced people.

Every time I've applied to startups that are open to hiring new graduates, I explain that I'm interested in research roles, but also open to working in support (entry-level is no problem for me). It's been nearly 15 months that I've been looking for jobs, so naturally, I'm a bit worried. Has anyone else faced this problem and know how to solve it?
