3 days agoI am in biotech in the US (currently in infectious disease monitoring, previously in cancer diagnostics). I’m going to assume you are in the US for this answer.
As long as you are willing to live in/near a biotech hub, there will be plenty of opportunities. These cities include Boston, San Fransisco, Denver, or any city that has a well respected research university (Duke, Ohio State, etc). If you choose to stay in academia, that opens up even more locations. There are many thousands of options outside of Monsanto. Depending on the area of the country you pick, you may start out in the 50-80k range, but it won’t take long to make over 100k a year.
Hoping one day we get a consumer grade domino, but that’s probably a pipe dream.
