5 SIGNS THAT YOU SHOULD NOT DO A PhD IN COMPUTER SCIENCE

I already talked about whether a PhD is worth it in a different video ( • Is a PhD Worth it? - I... ).
In this video I want to focus on 5 things that might indicate that a PhD might not be the right thing for you. I will also give you the priorities for the reasons at the end of the video.
More about me:
My name is Florian Leitner-Fischer and I'm a computer scientist, software engineer and software engineering manager based in Germany. I have experience both in academia as well as in industry managing a globally distributed software engineering team. In my videos I talk about programming, software development, software engineering and computer science as well as the occasional tech / gadget review.

1. No self-motivation
2. Giving up too early
3. Not good at academic writings
4. To get a only PhD title
5. To get rich quick

Sad I have all the red flags :( . I just like working on interesting problems but with structure.

[@khorramt]

I started a phd I do not have the first 3 things you mentioned. But I do not have another choice. I have to do it. I am so scared that I fail.

[@satyampratap1382]

is phd more harder than software engineering jobs??

[@fleitnerfischer]

It depends what software engineering job you compare it with but it is different in a lot of aspects, not necessarily harder

[@kefahatumi9095]

Is a PhD for someone who is 40?

[@fleitnerfischer]

That depends on what your motivation is to pursue a PhD?

[@sssh2001]

Your sound is very low

Yes sorry, upgraded my microphone since then.
