I think you misunderstood about the salary. Marie Curie actions have a great reputation and really good salary than most of the others program. But you missed something because in your contract you saw the gross salary and when you signed the contract, it should be explained to you that you have some tax cuts. And also if you looking the Marie Curie documents, there are some explanations in there. I can understand you it is hard situation because you planned most of things and got decision depend on this salary.

And for the inappropriate comment, no one can judge or blame to others. Everyone has own life, own decisions. I also try to understand that comment but i think it is too much.

Hi everyone,
I get stuck in my PhD, it has been 8 months to start to my PhD but I have no result and no progress. This make me full of stress. I almost always feel unhappy, unsatisfied and unsuccessful. I have no idea what i need to do. Whenever I talk one of my supervisor, I am losing my motivation. She is like a high school teacher. I hope i can tell you what i mean.
