The freedom for side projects is the best—though I should warn other people here than having a supportive supervisor who is okay with this is crucial.
I have definitely heard more than one horror story from colleagues who were constantly fighting their supervisors on the direction of their research, and felt they had little room for side projects.
Thank you!
