A PhD is a driving test. A postdoc is practice. You know that your students and postdocs will eventually be able to drive in directions you can’t or won’t. And it’s wonderfull. But it’s important not to mistake an unexciting work product with the actual value.

None of which is helpful I realise! All the best with whatever you decide to do.

I don’t regret it at all, but it was a very stressful time and I certainly didn’t cope very well at the time. Pandemic definitely contributed to that. Worked out in the end.

I had this issue during my PhD - one supervisor left during COVID and another wasn’t prepared to take me on. I spent about 6 months trying to find my own exit as the uni did not help me. Once I secured the exit I moved uni’s and I never looked back, but I also lost my scholarship for a time.
