I work at Google; my academic training was in Computer Science (S.B. and M.Eng. from MIT, Ph.D. from Stanford).
I wrote The Ph.D. Grind immediately after finishing my Ph.D., which is the ideal time for such a memoir. In contrast, current Ph.D. students cannot reflect on the entirety of their experiences like I can, and senior researchers who attempt to reflect back on their Ph.D. years might suffer from selective hindsight.
This book chronicles my six years of working towards a Ph.D. in Computer Science at Stanford University from 2006 to 2012. A diverse variety of people can benefit from reading it, including:
undergraduates who might be interested in pursuing a Ph.D.,
current Ph.D. students who are seeking guidance or inspiration,
professors who want to better understand Ph.D. students,
employers who hire and manage people with Ph.D. degrees,
professionals working in any creative or competitive field where self-driven initiative is crucial,
and educated adults (or precocious kids) who are curious about how academic research is produced.

評分一位斯坦福大學的博士求學生涯,足足能吊起我這種second tier大學PhD的興趣。 Overview Guo以他平實的語言,嚮我們展示瞭他平實的博士六年。其實,他六年過得並沒有我們想像中牛人那麼順利,並略有一點付齣小於迴報的感覺。前三年guo是處在對老闆的方嚮的糾結中,一方麵是老闆...

評分纔發現作者重迴學術圈當瞭AP,而且勤勤懇懇齣瞭加注版,於是又把整本書翻瞭一遍,頗有點從一年前隔岸觀火到如今感同身受的味道。
評分Research is very about community: right ideas from right persons got accepted. I have learned this since I read The PhD Grind book, but never understand
評分做多牛逼的事,受多苦逼的罪。快樂大多産自得到成果和跨越階梯的短暫時間,但也就是這些短暫時間們讓眾多追求卓越強迫癥患者孜孜不倦。
