1) What is the official duration of your PhD programme? Does it assume you already have a Master's?
2) How many academic credits (e.g., ECTS) are you required to get in order to complete your PhD?
3) If you are paid for TAing, can you estimate the number of teaching contact hours you need in order to supplement other sources of funding?

But hey, who could knew that putting the VP of Marketing of facebook (2012-2023) in charge of Mozilla's new ad division would led to the very predictable outcome of Firefox becoming just another panopticon selling your personal data uh? WHO COULD HAVE SEEN THIS COMING
