This story kind of reminds me of the movie Whiplash

[–] Contramuffin 3 points 1 year ago

I haven't heard of the movie before, but briefly looking over the synopsis, yeah, it was pretty similar to what my experience was like. It feels like kind of a shame, because I feel like I might have actually done pretty well and learned a lot if the advisor was more supportive. I don't particularly regret it though, since I'm pretty satisfied with my current career path, and I feel like I wouldn't be where I am now if not for going through that experience.
