astra_nomerUpdated statistics:
Total job applications: 40 (Faculty:Postdoc -- 23:17)
Number due in January left to do: 4 (2:2)
Number of rejection letters: 2 (0:2)
Number of expected rejections based on rumor: 9 (7:2)
I wonder if it's even worth submitting those last 4 applications. Especially since one of them is for a faculty position at a place where they've already rejected me as a postdoc.
I've been feeling pretty down lately. I've been wondering if it's worth staying in the game, considering the amount of misery the job hunting process has been giving me. And just think, I will likely have to go through this all over again in a few years. I'm running out of energy and enthusiasm.
