Really? How so? I was a research assistant in a US lab, and we interacted regularly with European groups of PhD students/post docs/professors, there was never such a feeling. I have friends doing a PhD back home, and they publish at international conferences etc. just like their American peers.
Citation needed?
- mtdewcmu 13y agoNote that by PhD I mean the degree itself, not the person holding it -- I'm sure highly talented people do PhDs in Europe. The simple fact that a US PhD is more time consuming would be enough to account for a difference in esteem. Check out arjunnarayan's comments on this same topic on a parallel thread -- he has more to say about it than I do. I'm repeating what I've heard, and IIRC I heard it from CS professors where I went to college -- the same one where Mor Harchol-Balter works.
- GuiA 13y agoThanks for the pointers to the comments. They're interesting to read, just like the replies to them.
