The conversation between human and AI assistant.
Should I resign from my job and back to work in an academic research lab before applying PhD in CS?
Would it be better to stay at my current job and try to gain research experience on the side?
It's definitely possible to gain research experience while working full-time, but it could be more challenging to find the time and resources to do so. Leaving your job to focus solely on research could be a more efficient way to gain the necessary experience.
