Expect a lot of politics, a lot of competition and a lot of work for just a second of attention. It's honestly pretty horrible. I better hope you are with a group with someone who has some authority in the collaboration. If not, expect to be completely ignored.

I had heard about similar experiences and was quite disappointed. Is that what you went through? Luckily I should be working on a fairly prominent analysis so maybe it will be a bit easier, we'll see how it goes.

Seriously fuck Cern.
No one gives a shit about your woman repelling, nerdy dweebyness.
It's just a fucking excuse to go play with big electronic toys.
Seriously fuck this shit so fucking much.

Remember that time I tweeted my discovery to every CERN handle on Twitter, and then the story was that Brian Cox has caused big dust up on Twitter by saying slightly the wrong thing about some technical detail on TV show?

No, just know a bunch of people here working on it. So take it with a grain of salt, people usually tend to exaggerate when they are frustrated. Still, my feeling is that you really need to want that shit. Other collaborations are much much more relaxed.

such as?

You mean other collaborations than LHCb, or other experiments entirely?
