I wrote a thing for my blog on some of the most horrible years of my life: as a PhD student at the University of Helsinki. It felt therapeutical to write, and I'm very, very happy that it's behind me.
I guess the executive summary would be that in my experience, Finnish academia is a place where opposing powerful interests isn't tolerated, and the success of your career isn't based on what you do, but rather who you know. http://freodom.blogspot.com/2022/12/farewell-to-my-so-called-academic-career.html
