When you judge the CV of an early career researcher, is there an ideal range of 1st author vs co-author publications? Which ratios are bad?
I don't mean this to devalue anybody! I'm saying that PIs exist who are nice & promote their students & gift 1st author to students.

I have seen students do very little work because they are still learning and still developing their skills and they get gifted 1st author.

This isn't a criticism of anybody, just a fact. PIs allow them to be first because why not?
-
If you have trouble understanding this, it might be because it's rare. But I've seen it first hand.

In all honesty, I generally approve of it when used wisely.
