Finishing Master’s with no publications
I’m about to finish my Master’s, and my research team has been really excited about our project. We’ve been wanting to submit to a conference all year, and we thought we were on track, but now our results are crumbling at the last minute. It really sucks, since some of the jobs I’m looking at for my field (machine learning) require publications in top-level conferences, and this felt like it could be my big break. This isn’t the first project I’ve done where I thought it could lead to a publication, either. Maybe this isn’t that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things, but it just sucks. I’ve been really burned out and stressed about our project lately.
