Congrats! And thanks so much for sharing very realistic numbers

I heard the PhD journey can be really tough. How were the hours doing research and studies like?

How are your working hours like now?

Thank you. It really depends on the nature of your research. Mine was more experiment based so with proper planning you should be able to stick to an average of 9hr a day, similar to work. I have to do some of my stuff on weekends because I was teaching undergraduate modules.

My work hours are normal now, 8.30am to 6.00pm, but sometimes I have to dial in for meetings with overseas collaborators at 3am, but you can claim time-off to go work later the next day.
