I came here to do a PhD, but I couldn’t complete it due to problems with my supervisor. What your friend told you is true. Before 2020, doing a PhD could give you a much better chance of getting PR through pathways like the Global Talent program. Now, things have changed significantly, and there is no clear or guaranteed pathway to PR after completing a PhD.You can try to continue with a postdoc or stay in academia, but the academic environment can be very stressful and, in some cases, toxic. So choose wisely.I come from a strong IT background and have previously worked for one of the top three technology companies in Sri Lanka. Now I am doing Uber Eats, and I really regret the decision I made. Don’t make your decision based only on other people’s advice. Think carefully and choose what is best for you. Many people think doing a PhD will automatically lead to a stable future or PR, but that is not the reality anymore.I know this situation from the inside. If you genuinely love research and really want to pursue it, then go for a PhD. Otherwise, think carefully before making that commitment.</blockquote>
