I find the field extremely interesting, but I wish the pay in genomics was better. Compared to fang/unicorn type companies, their pay is way below market and it's really hard to justify the massive pay cut.
- f6v 4y ago> their pay is way below market The pay is exactly where market is. There’re ton of wet-lab people wanting to get into “data”. And the industry is less lucrative than showing ads like Google does.
- nextos 4y agoI think Calico (Alphabet) pay is not too far from a SWE at Google. However, this requires a PhD and much more experience.
- f6v 4y agoJust about any “bioinformatics” job requires a PhD in biology-related field. And there’re plenty graduates. That’s the thing, there’s plenty of supply.
- the_only_law 4y agoYeah but… > This Guide is written specifically by and for computer scientists and engineers. How many engineers already have a bio phd. Who on earth is this actually written for.
