      Job security and long vacations, but low pay and bureaucracy

      Doctoral researcher
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Job security with a contract. Generous vacation time: 44 days, but you will not really use it during your PhD

      Cons

      Bureaucratic issues for non-EU students. You might be rejected after a months-long security check. The pay is relatively low compared to Germany.
