At out last meeting, we finalise my research question... --- 2 Years ago, 1 month after starting my new job, 3 month after finishing my studies, it was clear for me that I wanted to go back to academia.

So what to do, Pause, breathe, ask further questions before sharing an informed answer based on fact and not your own imagination
