Black Panther 1,587 Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Just before Xmas no2 daughter went to job interview. When she got back told us she really didn't want to live there. This morning they offered her the job. Glamor job in a world class institution. So, swallow the rat and take it, even if only for a short while, or keep looking elsewhere......? She has 2 weeks to reply. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Black Panther 1,587 Posted January 5, 2022 Author Share Posted January 5, 2022 Trump world. She would be in a university town in upstate NY, not bad, but outside of town is the exact opposite. And she is a young black female. Said she was not comfortable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Pope 243 Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 I can understand her concern. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DrWatson 375 Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 The outcome was? Any options in Europe? The continent is a different thing to the UK. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Black Panther 1,587 Posted February 16, 2022 Author Share Posted February 16, 2022 Yes. After much discussion and some excellent advice under the table from someone already employed there, she replied to them asking to defer for 12 months so she could do a fellowship at some famous art museum in Amsterdam. Also asked for more money, a job for her partner and a few other things. Sent the email off thinking that will be the end of that. 24hrs later got a reply saying yes to everything. Much hilarity from the family. So she's hoping to do the fellowship and is waiting to hear from two other institutions she's applied to ( turns out this contract is more a letter of intent , voidable at any time). Worst case she'll do a few years at Cornell and it will look good on her CV. Meanwhile, like the good Dr she's hoping to visit NZ in July when the border reopens and she has finished her thesis. All in all not a bad outcome, even though she's still not excited about living in the US. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Black Panther 1,587 Posted February 16, 2022 Author Share Posted February 16, 2022 I think her preference would be Europe, she's fluent in French, Italian and Spanish, not bad at Dutch and I think she's working on another. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
