Excuse me. They have a women. This is clearly a DEI group of fascist.
Hey ya know, just how it be sometimes
Estonian here, first Yank* scientist on Lemmy to come work at University of Tartu gets a beer on me. Note that when I say "come work at" I mean I live in the city, not that I work at the university too. I dropped out after a semester and a half lol
* Yank refers to the entire USA here, though younger generations don't use it much. You could be from Texas or California and still be a Yankee.
I love Tartu, but last I heard, the pay and funding sucked. How is it now?
Apparently it's only good if you get good grants and scheme around with the money.
According to this professors and above make pretty good money for Tartu cost of living, assuming you're not trying to support an entire family on a single salary.
Really, it's a place you could move to for the vibes, but it won't be the best place to make money.
Same in Finland: a Californian or a Hawaiian is a Yankee (in Finnish: jenkki) here.
I’m in.
I have a friend here in the US who is on a visa and is planning on leaving the US after undergrad and doing grad school in Europe somewhere
