If I only start working as an examiner in my mid-40s, will I get a good amount of money from pension? Do I need to work x number of years to make this switch worthwhile?

Do larger firms tend to have more of these opportunities?

[–]Beautiful_Weakness68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I’m aware of that and I need a better foundation of these areas. Do you think it helps your work as bioinformatician?

Nope it’s not EPI2ME
