I’m starting my PhD journey as well, and currently working as a software developer at a financial institution :)
I prioritize the key aspects of my PhD for my University. In my case is publishing in high-level journals and conferences. My advice is pretty simple, don’t try to do everything; instead, excel at the most important tasks for you, your advisor and your university.
Yes, I work as a 9-5 software developer for a financial institution. While I can’t fully immerse myself in my PhD like a full-time student, I make decisions with my advisor, focusing on the most important aspects for both my university and my curriculum. Setting clear goals with your advisor is crucial, it allows you to work with clear objectives in mind and gives you more freedom to manage your time effectively.
