My questions:
1. If I do my PhD overseas with funding from abroad, will I face difficulty in finding a job in local uni as I won't be attached to any institution?
2. What are the prospect for someone like me, i.e. would my 5 years work experience pre-PhD be of any worth to be considered, or would I have to start as a junior lecturer anyway?
3. In general, what is your view/advice for someone like me - I've shared my idea with some friends and a few think that it is unusual for someone with a stable corporate job to want to join academia (the impression they have is that it will be for less pay). Also a family member told me that I was "too old to only start now in academia". This is because by the time I finish, I would probably be around 34/35 and there are PhD holders in early and mid twenties for me to compete with.
Thanks in advance for your views. Please be gentle with a LYN noob.
1) no problem at all if your phd is recognised by our JPA.
2) the number of years dont play any role. the grade for lecturers are based on education level. if after phd should be DS51. the experience will be considered then onwards to award you prof madya, then prof.
3) nothing is unusual in this world my friend. we have choices everyday and some choices demand certain sacrifices. you are never too old for anything. competition is everywhere.
good luck
