Very valuable advice. Thank you!

Thanks for sharing your perspective. I definitely agree that it is not personal. I feel lucky for doing MS and not doing a PhD right off the bat which allowed me to find what works for me.

I am glad that you were able to get a better supervisor. Did you face any kind of retaliation from your first supervisor?

Very helpful advice. I am trying to extend my masters by another 8 months and work with other professors in the department to make the switch. Fingers crossed :)

I don't claim this to be deliberate and I am sure my supervisor is good human being and it is nothing personal. Simultaneously I also think it is not difficult to see what effect this causes deliberate or not.

I am currently a master's student and about to start PhD in one of the top AI labs. I already feel mentally exhausted with all the indirect pressure tactics my supervisor uses like not responding to emails, withholding stipend for several months and so on. It's a disaster and I never imagined myself in this situation. I hope things change soon.
