That's a very good goal. You clearly need a better managers and better companies to work for. The research experience of the PhD might help, but it's not the solution to all problems.
For a more pragmatic point of view, look at where your future professor's students are. In a 250+ ranked school, the school name is not going to land you a great job by default. You'll need to be working with a good professor. Your summary of the publications of who you are working with doesn't seem stellar, but without details on where he publishes I can't say much. How many students does he have?
Do you have only that one offer or more?
- panjaro 12y agoHe has 5 students of which 3 have completed PhD, 1 is in progress and another one is MS by Research. This is the only offer I have.
- honorious 12y agoMy advice is to chat with previous and current students to get a feeling on how it is to work with that professor. In this way, you get a view of their experience. Is the PhD in the US, Europe, or somewhere else? As for government funded: you also get a monthly stipend, right? How long is the PhD in your country?
