> I got a minor in CS, MS in genetics and have been looking for an industry job for about a year now.
If you have a MS in genetics why are you applying for jr. dev jobs which primarily targets towards CS majors fresh out of school? You are at a distinct disadvantage with a minor in CS.
With your background in genetics, why are you seeking out dev positions at all? Shouldn't you be seeking lab/research positions and use your CS minor to differentiate yourself from other people with MS in genetics?
Anyways good luck with your job search, but I really don't think the "Who Wants to be Hired" is what you are looking for. Your best bet is through your alma mater/networks, professors, job fairs, etc.
- PeterisP 7y agoIt probably depends on where you are, but I wouldn't be surprised if OP could get a jr. dev job that pays better than any biology lab/research position they would expect even after a PhD and some experience.
