Is it in a good school, and are you working with somebody who is publishing in top conferences or journals? If not, then you won't get much out of your PhD.
Why did you always wanted to have a PhD? Do you want to work in research or academia?
Why did you always wanted to have a PhD? Do you want to work in research or academia?
I want to go to academia because working for companies and fixing their immediate shits doesn't make sense to me. I can't do what should be done. Have to always serve the boss. I want to be in a place where I learn and whatever I publish be of some value. Not just another software or another web application.
I think 10 years after. After 10 years , I don't want to be some manager/lead of some X company working under some boss. I want to be an expert in some field, distinguished and want to have my own identity not just X number of experience is some company.
I want to do research, valuable work.
For a more pragmatic point of view, look at where your future professor's students are. In a 250+ ranked school, the school name is not going to land you a great job by default. You'll need to be working with a good professor. Your summary of the publications of who you are working with doesn't seem stellar, but without details on where he publishes I can't say much. How many students does he have?
Do you have only that one offer or more?
This is the only offer I have.
Is the PhD in the US, Europe, or somewhere else?
As for government funded: you also get a monthly stipend, right? How long is the PhD in your country?
