- tetris11 3y agoYup, ain't that just how it goes. I'll probably make the leap soon myself sometime this year, and I'm not looking forward to playing "skill-tetris" with recruiters.
- calvinmorrison 3y agoI wouldn't worry. Research really sets apart new grads. Everyone else got a degree too, but doing cool research is usually a good conversation starter during interviews!
- lebovic 3y agoThis pattern is common. Anecdotally, I think the majority of people trained in bioinformatics end up working full-time in standard software engineering. I think this is starting to change. Next-generation sequencers and other imaging devices are causing more wet labs to produce massive amounts of data – which is increasing the number of companies hiring for bioinformatics roles.
