If nobody claims Duke, I take it graciously. Somebody has to.

Only one. What a casual.

So what about the possibility that they notified AP, CP, and theory so far and DGP is currently having a break?

Yes, it was a personal email. Status is unchanged on the portal. But I'll keep y'all posted.

Then yield your fist threateningly at the screen and curse those people. After that: get a headstart and work on the paper for which you created (wanted to create) the dataset. Lastly, email those people to get access to their dataset already and publish your paper.

I've no idea whether this is actually true, but isn't this risk somewhat alleviated if you are an international and capable of working either in your home country or another of which you are speaking the language? From my limited observation, it seems that degrees from internationally recognized US universities also carry their prestige benefit elsewhere and if one is less concerned about getting a job at the best possible R1 in the US and willing to take a potential pay cut, the situation may not be completely dire. The latter should probably also be true for US nationals. At the end, if one is sufficiently flexible and work hard enough than - and that is maybe just my opinion - one should get a nice job (private or public) somewhere.

Congrats
 

As a German who lived in Berlin most of his life I would first ask how much you have to pay in tuition? Other than that I would say that you can survive on 700-900€ in Berlin depending on the quality of life you aspire to have? Even though the average rent is increasing as long as you are willing to make use of the public transport system there should be a number of places where rent is comparatively cheap. Also note that food and the like a arguably dirt cheap in Germany anywhere.

I didn't intend to debate the truth of the original post. I frequent PSR (for some self-loathing reason) and EJMR (which is a bit better) and the situation seems to be bad anywhere. But as I said, I don't think that going to graduate school is the worst decision possible if one likes the work and is flexible with regard to the final international location and sector afterwards.

I suppose they analyze your Gradcafe posts and take the inverse of your carefully evaluated desperation level. :/
