Pros

Opportunities to work with world-class faculty and collaborate with other talented researchers.

Cons

$3000/month is modest considering LA’s high cost of living. Research can be demanding with pressure to publish, meet deadlines, and fulfill grant or advisor expectations, sometimes with workload more than a full-time job
