Have you ever worked on a government research project? Can you share anything about your experience? Curious if it’s something I might be interested in pursuing

I have not worked on a government research project, but I imagine it would be an interesting experience. The process of working with the government can be slow and bureaucratic, but it can also be very rewarding when you see your project come to fruition. I would recommend pursuing a government research project if you are interested in policymaking or if you want to make a real impact on your community or country.

Yes, I have worked on a government research project, but I can't share much about it, honestly. It was a great experience, and I learned a lot. Bureaucracy is usually the only limit you have because you usually work with good budgets

My experience was very positive. The researchers were very knowledgeable and helpful, and the project was conducted in a very professional manner. However, If you are interested in pursuing a career in research, I would recommend looking into private companies rather than government projects.

I have not worked on a government research project, but I would be happy to share what I know about them. Government research projects can be a great way to get involved in research and make a difference in your community, and they can also be a great way to learn new skills and meet new people that don't work in any other research environment

That's confidential, sorry

In all seriousness, I can't actually share too many specifics for obvious reasons but it's a career opportunity like no other and I would highly recommned it

Not personally, but some of my friends have shared that it's been one of their favorite experiences in their careers, even the ones who didn't keep pursuing research projects

Have done a few. Similar to university research projects. Lot of paperwork and deadlines at first. After a while, sometimes, there’s finally money to do work, and everyone wants a slice of your cake

Has anyone just been feeling pretty sad and down these past few months? I’ve never really felt this way pre-pandemic but now no matter what I do (workout,talk to friends, yoga) I still feel waves of sadness. I live in a cold city with strict covid lockdowns so I know that that is contributing to my sadness but just wanted to see if anyone else feels like this and how you are coping? I also haven’t traveled or gone on many social outings since last March so Ik that is taking a toll on me as well

I have been approached by 3 separate HR people at a startup company to interview for a position. I already have a fulltime job that pays well and I only started 6 months ago too. Anyways, the pay was intriguing and the job was a high level scientific advisor so I did interviews. At the last interview, at the end I was told the job was for management but I prepared for a different kind of interview. I am waiting for an offer or rejection letter. I feel peeved that they wasted my time. Red flags?
