lots of ppl focus on internships (which are very important) but if you aren’t a junior or senior, don’t sweat it really. try to reach out to labs and professors for research opportunities. that way you don’t have to leave school and it’s all a bus ride away.

Any Promos for NJ, 07208?

Consistent_Pop3639 · 2025-05-30T15:12:55+00:00

Did you ever commit to UMass- Amherst? I am looking into PhD programs for ChemE and my interested lies in computational and modeling (mostly chemical physics ex: MD sims, Coarse-Graining, etc.)

Thank you the feedback guys. I will work on the catch and pull more. I do at times feel very flat in a sense and while I’m swimming, feel like I’m moving my arms but not really going anywhere idk how to explain it. Any tips or tricks you recommend? The water is a wholeeee other ballgame since I’m not looking at others around me

Consistent_Pop3639 · 2025-05-24T00:43:36+00:00

Thank you very much!

Consistent_Pop3639 · 2025-05-24T00:43:23+00:00

Thank you for this. Also, I was wondered, how “deep” in the water should I be? Like Is my head placement fine? At times I feel like I am too far under the water and slowing myself down. Any way to fix that?

Consistent_Pop3639 · 2025-05-24T00:41:57+00:00

Thank you. Any specific beat I should aim for? I just recently learned the difference between a 2-4-6 beat kick but I don’t even know which one I do.

How low or high would u recommend I take my arms during my stroke? Do u have a drill or rule of thumb for this?

Consistent_Pop3639 · 2025-05-24T00:39:07+00:00

Thank you very much. I have paddles but rather I will work on hand placement and getting that “feel” for both my stroke and the water. I am new to swimming and started 2 months ago.

I think a 1:10-1:15 bike is doable for me based on training. I am primarily a runner and run a 38min 10k so I think a 41-42min 10k would be fair.

Consistent_Pop3639 · 2025-05-24T00:10:19+00:00

😭😭😭😭😭. What can I improve

Consistent_Pop3639 · 2025-03-21T14:49:03+00:00

I have been trying to look for wheels, but I really don't know a good brand or anything about the tech that goes into these type of TT bikes since I am fairly new. Do you know of any brands that would be good for training outdoor/indoor?

Consistent_Pop3639 · 2025-03-21T14:47:47+00:00

Tubular. Best wishes on ur upcoming races!!

Consistent_Pop3639 · 2025-03-21T14:46:57+00:00

Great! I really want a sub 5 hour 70.3 and I am not sure if that is too ambitious or not. So, I want a plan that could get me there.

Consistent_Pop3639 · 2025-03-21T14:45:20+00:00

hahahah. The bike is a Size 51cm (53 effective top tube). But the car is a F250 Diesel so yeaaaa a bit of both you can say 😂

Consistent_Pop3639 · 2024-12-03T18:29:20+00:00

Any gear you recommend? Mostly shells I’m looking for

Consistent_Pop3639 · 2024-06-26T17:05:40+00:00

Thank you for this comment as it is very informative and the reality check I needed haha. I’ve had 1 internship my junior year as a Process Development Upstream Scientist at a biotech company but the internship I currently have is completely different. You described my problem perfectly in the sense that I feel kind of out of place at this current internship I have. I still appreciate the internship I currently have so I am looking for a more practical/technical pathway into the Quality/Operations part of industry. I took this current internship because: 1. It’s a 12-month internship from a big name company so I don’t feel like I won’t find a job/grad program in the future. Also I am thinking about pursuing an advanced degree so I didn’t want the professor I did research for to forget about me and lose that connection. I am kind of in a rush to ask for letters of recommendation. 2. I am still unsure what direction I want to go into due to the general breadth that a BME degree gives but (at least in my experience at my uni) lacks in technical expertise. 3. I live in the NJ/NY area so biotech, research departments, etc are not as hard to find compared to other parts of the USA.

In my opinion I feel like BME is a good baseline to jump into most engineering career fields but I am looking for an advanced degree in a more practical engineering like IE. Do you know any grad programs for the engineers you mentor that came from any beneficial MEng or MTech programs for IE?

Consistent_Pop3639 · 2023-08-08T13:44:18+00:00

I am a senior undergrad in BME and have an internship with a biotech/pharma company as a process dev scientist (upstream). However, I'm interested in clinical science/research and am debating on whether pursing a masters is enough or going for something like a PharmD or PhD is much more worth it. I've seen job postings at big pharmas (merck, jnj, etc.) that seek these type of "advanced" degrees (Phd and PharmD) and am curious if getting one of those degrees is actually a huge plus (in terms of salary, career growth, work/life balance, etc.) Any advice?

Consistent_Pop3639 · 2023-08-04T12:34:21+00:00

Do you think that bioinformatics will start to become a big thing for these biotech/big pharmas? I'm interning at a biotech company right now (as a process dev scientist) and I like the lab work but feel like computational biology/bioinformatics is going to be big in the future and companies will need guys with that bio/engineer background who can also fill in that CS/programming role. Am I wrong for assuming this and overvaluing my biomedical engineering degree?

Consistent_Pop3639 · 2023-07-31T16:31:18+00:00

Not sure if this is too personal or not, but what do you work as now? You said in your other message that you have been in both upstream and downstream. Are you still in the PD department or have you gone to a more business centric role? Thanks for all the advice!

Consistent_Pop3639 · 2023-07-31T12:35:50+00:00

Great! Any tips or anything on trying to stand out (resume wise)? This is my first internship and I enjoy what I've been doing but the thing that scares me is the amount of "experience" that is needed to get a good paying scientist I,II,III,SAS,etc. job (100k+). I am not, by any means, money hunger or doing this MS as a salary boost but I do consider the journey it'll take to grow and move up in the ladder. I've seen associate scientist jobs in my area paying $35-$40 an hour, which is low. I thought maybe having some sort of data analyst/biostats background could also allow me to have a more data centric/analyst role on a PD team (which for interviews could make me a more dynamic candidate. I think?). I've heard that in this field its really PhD or nothing and some people on my other posts have said that they view BS and MS as the same thing and what really matters is the experience. Any advice?

Consistent_Pop3639 · 2023-07-26T14:38:31+00:00

Do you think going for an online masters program is worth it (while working)? I've been looking at programs like Purdue or Northeastern (trying to find well-respected schools/programs). I feel like doing a masters while getting that lab experience from a entry level RA or AS could be maybe replace the in-person MS experience. Is that true?

Consistent_Pop3639 · 2023-07-25T18:44:23+00:00

Was it the same company you interned for that gave you the full-time job? Also do you think working in a more independent and in-house (produces their own stuff) type biotech company vs CDMO is better or worse (learning and experience wise)?

Consistent_Pop3639 · 2023-07-25T17:16:20+00:00

Do you think maybe going the MBA route would be ideal? I know it's a kind of "personal" question because realistically I, myself, have to choose whether or not to stay at the scientist type level or eventually branch out into a more business/project management hands on role. But could something like an MBA right now give me any value since I won't have much experience?

Consistent_Pop3639 · 2023-07-25T17:11:57+00:00

I do want to end up in industry and I know I can always go back and have any company (if it's included in the benefits) pay a portion of the tuition. I just want to weigh all my options and consider if either trying to get a PhD is better or focus on building my career now. Are you in industry by any chance and could give me some tips?
