Firstly, why would anyone call themselves Prof.Dr? That makes no sense. Secondly, this guy only has 240 citations. I had more during my time as a PhD Candidate. I think it is best not to listen to people working at very low level universities. Thanks.
ОтветитьI'm an average student, not good at math. Would you recommend me to do a Phd? in NLP field
ОтветитьI am a PhD student many years into the program but many life circumstances have changed for me in the past few years. I am now trying to decide if completing this work is still right for me. I found your video to be helpful to frame my thoughts. Thank you, Florian!
ОтветитьDo a PhD you if want to get paid to do research in the field. Financially, however, it does not make sense.
ОтветитьSir can u plz provide ur email ID I need some guidance from u ...
ОтветитьHow many people are going to admit that the time and money sunk into getting something was pointless? I can think of just one person that got an engineering PhD (specifically chemical) that said it was a waste of his time. Most are going to simply default to "it was difficult to do, I'm proud of the work I put into it, it has worth it."
Let's face reality here. People ask about getting advanced degrees thinking it will enable them to make more money. That is pretty much the driving motivation of making the inquiry. Anybody that has genuine interest in doing research isn't going to ask "is it worth it?"
Thank you for this content Professor
ОтветитьThanks for uploading. I think the points explained in this video applies to other fields of engineering too.
ОтветитьHi Dr, I need your advice. Currently I'm holding a BSc double major (Maths and Info System) and I'm planning to do masters software engineering next year. Is this OK? Given that I didn't have degree in computer science.
ОтветитьI do not see jobs that even scratch the average you name. I am passionate about it. But I need some training or to simply flex my muscles.
ОтветитьDear Professor: How does one determine that they have the qualities to take up the Phd Program. Because sometimes I may have passion and interest and on some days it could be not there (may be my Phd guide said something discouraging or I am not able to make progress). How to choose a Phd guide or professor.? What criteria can be used to select a Phd Guide. For example, there may be this famous xyz professor having 100 publications but he may not have time for me. It can also be that the professor is a great researcher with bad attitude. Your guidance and thoughts in this topics is really appeciated.
Ответитьthank you .
ОтветитьVery informative, thank you
ОтветитьYou seem really tired and worked out Sir. What was it like balancing the social aspects of life while doing a Phd? Is it possible for me to maintain a healthy social life whilst working so hard?
ОтветитьHallo florian, vielen Dank für das Video. Ich möchte fragen, ob man mit einer Ausbildung in der Anwendungsentwicklung einen PhD machen kann?
ОтветитьThank you for this video! Very helpful
ОтветитьVery good info. Thanks for sharing your experience. It will be good to share your daily routine as a PHD student.
ОтветитьIs it Ok to da a PhD in computer science at the age of 40?
ОтветитьFantastic content! Gold
ОтветитьHello Dr. Florian Leitner-Fischer : Nice video! I have 8 years experience as software developer and have worked in companies like Walmart. I work in India and my intrest is in doing research preferably in Germany in software development topics like memory management, improving performance, app optimization etc. I want to do PHD as I have intrest in research. I want to take few suggestions from you.
Is it wise choice to pursue for PHD after 8 years working in industry? Can pursuing PHD help me getting oppurtunities to work in research development? How can I serach for good PHD programmes in Germany? Will appreciate your suggestions.
Hi Florian, I would like to ask you, how log did it take you to finish your Phd?
ОтветитьHey sir, I just wanna know how to be a computer scientist? what a computer scientist do? I'm a high school student.
ОтветитьI NEEDED THIS!
Ответить'like somebody who had never eaten pizza in his life telling you that pizza isn't really tasty'. That's a choke slam right there, my friend. Love it.
ОтветитьWhat do I know
ОтветитьHi Florian thank you for this video. This really helps me to decide for a phd or not
ОтветитьThere's lots of push-back against any CS degree, mainly from the "learn to code" camp with their "real skills for the real world" agit-prop. And of course the PhD has a reputation of being elitist and ivory-tower. Still, it's a fact that CS is a sort of applied math, and math is the elephant in the middle of the IT room. If you want to work for the lower 50% then no, you don't need any CS degree, just "learn to code," i.e., learn evermore clever programming tricks. But if you want to be in the upper 50% of the IT world, learn the applied math fundamentals behind CS.
ОтветитьHallo Dr. Florian.. @Dr.Florian Leitner-Fischer i was curious and doubtful to do Phd and then i found this video. Many of my friends and colleague who are currently working in an IT industry always suggested me not to go for Phd as they say it is not worth it. But for me, i am more into research than building application everyday. i am interested to do my Phd in image processing specially in the field of medical science. My motivation is to combine medical science and computer science and cure cancer and many other diseases. But so far, i haven't found any university or professor offering such program. is there any advice for me on this. thank you
ОтветитьNo.
ОтветитьNice video Florian. I for one ignored all those losers who discouraged me from getting a Ph.D. (in stochastic dynamic programming and its application in Macro econ) and persuaded that. In my view, if you love the topic and would like to stay in the field and have an upper hand in many negotiation-type settings, the "right" Ph.D. would actually be pretty useful.
Ответитьone question if i want to do phd:
1) should i get job first and find the problem and topic then apply for phd with specific problem to fild solution with industry experience
or
2) get directly involved in phd and try to find the topic in course work time , (in india phd duration is 5 years, first two years for course work) because i don't have any perticular topic right now .
i am interested i machine learning , should i go i industry and find how machine learning is use in industry and try to figure out some topics and problems?
there is any scope of phd in tech industry , because in India everybody thinks or believes that the scope of phd is only in academic , and with phd it is hard to get job in industry , most of the time they reject because we become over qualified and if one gets then he we be treated as same or less then the bachelor's who has the experience of 5-6 years.
ОтветитьThank you for the video! Do you think it is the right moment to learn CS in these pandemic days when the students study alone at home. Is it better to wait until we can go to the university in person.
ОтветитьThank you for presenting your insight about your PhD and how it shaped your career in Germany!
Afaik in the US the situation is pretty similar to Germany: If a professor really wants you they will pay you to be their PhD student.
Being German myself that's a misconception I had about the US system which I only realised after a US professor told me about it.
Even in Germany you might have to fund yourself unless the professor really wants you.
Additionally the pay increase you get from a PhD mostly applies to traditional (German) companies.
Unfortunately those companies might still end up paying a PhD graduate less than a big US company pays Bachelor graduates (in Germany).
The entry level pay at a place like Google in Munich is around 100k just for reference while a company like BMW or SAP might not even pay PhD graduates that much.
Big US companies will usually only pay you a higher salary if your PhD is required for the job.
Of course I agree with you that money isn't everything but fortunately for us as CS nerds we can have both fun and a decent salary.
Also I definitely agree with you that in a traditional, hierarchical German company having a PhD will probably help you getting into leadership positions.
Personally I'm considering doing a PhD nevertheless - especially if it's a well funded one at a top university.
I would love to learn more about computer architecture and GPU design.
I'll see first though if I can even publish something within my Masters degree...
That seems to be an unwritten rule for most competitive PhD programs...
Thanks alot for explaining, really helped me redirect where i'm going
ОтветитьOfcourse smart people has glasses
