Thanks Cem Avsar, this is a great info about the PhD paths 🚀. I agree with you on “contributing to a proposal, may get you high chance of getting a position” nevertheless; it is not always working as you mentioned. Funding limitations and employment priorities are always big players. Also we have to accept the statement of “having an idea doesn’t make it yours”, not getting a position, should not demotivate the searching process. When a door closes another one always open, and we never know what life brings 😊
