Is there a platform where people share their #application advice / collect personal statements etc?

Every year a bunch of prospective students reach out to me, asking for #advice for #applying to #Cambridge - especially #Gates Cambridge #scholarship . Over the years I collected my advice in a doc & just send it to everybody asking for help.

Thinking about making this doc available on my website, so that it's more easy to access. Or is there a platform for this already?

This one’s for all the #PhDstudent s and #postdoc s on here: What did people look at when #applying for their #PhD ?

Was it how interesting how found the project, how prestigious the uni, how acclaimed the supervisor? Apart from other specific preferences like the lab environment, involvement of their supervisor in teaching/training, etc…

I’m open to any and all #advice here.

Also somewhat trying to consider a future recruiter’s perspective, weighing up the perceived ‘value’ of the PhD 🤔

Continuing to #apply to #infosec / #cybersec jobs, working my #resume until it's the best it's ever been and still not getting responses. Sometimes it feels futile, to be studying for a #ccna and #applying so much when you never hear back, but I must push on. Something /must/ be out there for me, right?

@Petzlux In the Linux kernel process, patches should be reviewed _before_ the pull request is sent.
And there's a benevolent dictator that can say "remain" ;-)
Also, remember that "forking can be a good thing, but only if the results are merged back" (https://lwn.net/Articles/446297/).
