Starting at Emory as a research assistant, any advice is appreciated!
Hi Everyone,
I got an offer as a clinical research assistant at Emory, and I am super excited for this new chapter of my life! At the same time, I am leaving behind my life in Europe and Its incredibly daunting to move across the Atlantic for my first "career" job. There's so much I don't know about life in the US so I genuinely appreciate any advice!
What is a livable wage (living modestly) in Atlanta if you don't necessarily need a central location and don't eat out often?
Any researchers that are willing to chat about what it was like getting a job at Emory? Is any negotiation about salary normal in academics (since I know salary can be funding based)? any negotiations about benefits or moving costs?
If you have any general advice/insights about living costs I'd really appreciate it! and if any of you are willing to answer some questions about the salary-related stuff, you can also DM me!
