   What is the average number of applications you should have? I heard that some people applied around 150 and 200 universities. How can it be possible?

   I don't know anyone applying to less than 200 schools...

   MRM here. My advisor actually pumped up my expectations. I was hopeful but still realistic. I have one call. Was not prepared for this.

   My old advisor was encouraging me to try the market again now that i have publications.

   You think you should have more? Or you didn't expect even that one phone call?

   ALL advisors think their students get too few calls. They do not realize that things have gotten much more competitive since they days when they were looking for a job, or even since the last time they were on the search committee. Advisors are overly optimistic, discount their expectations for you.

   I'm in a similar situation to you. I have a theory that if the demand side sees that you're corporately employed - it's a strike against you - in that you already have a job. Can anyone from the demand side confirm this?
   Thanks

   Demand side here: all about the publications. Couldn't care less if you're in industry if you have publications.
