How postdoc cohorts can navigate career competition and mutual support

My lab cohort from our postdoc program meets every few months and we always end up comparing career trajectories and grant funding in ways that feel supportive on the surface but leave everyone feeling worse. We're supposed to be helping each other navigate this career path but the competition and comparison is making us less honest about our real struggles.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Professional competition is undermining the authentic support a peer group could provide.
