Pros
-As a PhD student if your salary comes through Curie you may benefit from expensive healthcare insurance, a 75% refund for transport expenses and a generous amount of holidays. -The academic scientific level is generally high.
Cons
-As of 2024, PhD students are underpaid, with a net salary less than 1700 euros per month, insufficient to live in Paris. -4th year PhD students are paid the same as 1st year students. -In my experience there is a lack of project and team management pipelines. Some people are micromanaged and team leaders do not necessarily have the interpersonal and organisational skills to properly lead a team.
