Hi Navin, thanks for the article. It's so good to read it and clarifies many lingering doubts. Meanwhile could you please advise if its okay to do PhD while working or should one do it full time? My goal is to work in academic environment eventually.
Very interesting article. After my CS engineering, I worked for 2 years to really get a sense of the industry and then did an MBA from IIMB. I would now like to peruse a PhD in CS (or in some field of Business Analytics where CS and business really meet). Do you think it is a good idea to do a PhD at this point after an MBA?
Any thoughts on when/why it would be okay to quit a PhD program? I have seen some students struggling with this question and it is hard to distinguish between giving up during a dip vs quitting for right reasons.
Interesting! I was curious about your opinion on the "right time" for a PhD. Do you recommend diving into a PhD right after your masters? Does that run a risk of getting too intense too quickly or result in a possible burnout in a couple of years?
Navin, have you ever written around research itself, as in how one does it?
