Pros

This job is that the university offers to all their phd students. Though it sounds less, you can never complain the school.

Cons

The payment is quite low. It cannot cover your living cost in Atlanta because you have to pay for your fee which is quite a lot!

Pros

You get to work with amazing people who are the most influential people in the world in their respective fields. There is a lot of opportunity to interact with academic experts, captains of industry, and leading practitioners in your field. The research institute and the foundation add so much to the academic experience.

Cons

The biggest challenge is getting there. Atlanta traffic is daunting if you do not live near campus. Get an apartment in midtown.
