Thanks, this is really nice! For those of us (just) before a PhD: any thoughts on how different criteria tradeoff against each other when choosing which program to do? Assuming there’s no one program that is willing to admit me and has the perfect topic alignment, cool supervisor, prestigious university, is located near an AI safety hub, etc. E.g. I remember 80k being quite vocal about how a PhD makes sense mostly only when it’s done at a top 10 institution.
