If I ever have the ovaries to leave #academia, this will be the main reason (all post-PhD):
2020: SWE Research Council - rejected!
2021: SWE Research Council - rejected!
2023: NOR Research Council - rejected!
2024: NOR Research Council - rejected!
2025: SWE Research Council + Bank of SWE + MSCA - rejected! (Seal of Excellence, yay!)
2026: MSCA - rejected! (that seal no one asked for again ...)
Some might say I should get the hint already
