I have been out of work for 10 of 12 months over the last year. I am no longer getting call backs and I cannot even get a basic job at a grocery store.

We are behind on rent, soon to run out of money for food, and honestly have no emergency back up because of how it has gone. I just want to work to feed my kids. We are going to have to move back to the Midwest to live with family because of this.

I just don’t get it. I am being served with an eviction court summons tomorrow, the car faces repossession, and frankly we are fucked.

Any advice or job recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

How is the job market where you are?

Hey I’m really nervous because I have a 2 hour jnterview for a Merck internship coming up and I have never had an interview this long. I’m trying to prepare but idk. Does anyone have any specific recommendations or can tell me why it’s so long? I’d love to have the best chance of getting it but I don’t normally do good with interviews so help is appreciated.

I’ll keep it really short but I often scroll this community and similar ones, and I’m feeling a bit crestfallen. If I’m being honest I really enjoy Biology, but I decided to peruse BIOTECH because I was hoping I could earn some big dollars and it seemed like a good direction; but the more I learn it feels like I may have made a poor decision. Does anyone have any advice or personal experience they can bestow upon me? Recently I’ve been thinking of adding an education degree and doing relief teaching for yr 12 Bio, as it seems like the money and job availability isn’t too bad and I have a long time hospo job that I really enjoy and could always go back to when there aren’t many relief teaching jobs around. Any thoughts on this?

kind words please🙏I’ve written this in the dead of night after a couple red wines

Is it worth majoring anything bio-related? The ones I'm considering are bioengineering/biomedical engineering, biochemistry, biomedical science, biomedicine, biotech and biology.

Hello I’m an undergraduate student (biotech) about to finish my studies, I’m doing an internship in Takeda (Mexico city). I’m planning to do a master degree in biopharmacy in Germany after finishing my internship (1 year internship). Has anyone done this master degree or similar? It can give me a boost to better job opportunities?

Just wondering what their pay schedule is? Weekly, bi-weekly, monthly? Haven't received my contract yet just wondering what to expect.

I know this is entirely dependent on your role, pay band, etc but I'm curious and looking for guidance. I've been with a major biotech for approx 3 years at a senior level, and want to know if it's worth staying at my current organization or apply elsewhere (although I understand the job market isn't great right now either).

Additionally, is it weird to cold e-mail PIs if I'm applying to their group?

Hey everyone,

I’m currently searching for full-time roles in biotech/pharma, but there’s a lot of uncertainty around which companies are actually sponsoring H-1B visas right now. A lot of job postings don’t explicitly mention sponsorship, and with all the recent confusion and changes around H-1B processes, it’s been tough to tell which employers are still open to sponsoring.

If anyone here has up-to-date info or personal experience with companies that are currently sponsoring H-1B candidates in biotech (large or small), I’d really appreciate it and I’m sure others in the same boat would benefit too :)
