just found out i m in the same situation as you, kath

[Altruist]

i'd give up on it in your place tbh

you are already set, don't need it

many people go for phd in their 40s, it's never too late to try again

but it's the one thing that keeps me going, that's the issue. you have to have that one "S tier" goal, and just repeating the same shit over and over at work aint it

of course, i can do this completely independently anyway, but there are reasons (formal, mostly) why i want it to be registered "in the system"
