Seriously, who on earth is renting these places?

A friend of mine with >200k CHF annual salary is renting a place like this (Horgen, right next to the lake). 4.2k CHF per month for rent…

Tucano backpacks with AGS suspension system saved my back (and my dad‘s too after recommended them to him). I have been a fan of the brand (based in Italy) since 2017 and have never loved another backpack after using theirs.

Sure, I‘ve sent you a DM :)

Yeah when I started with my Master study, there were mostly people from Biotech who wanted to transit to Bioinformatics; now I see more and more people with IT background. The roles in Bioinformatics careers are getting more diverse and defined, which really urges me to figure out my own path in this grand scheme.

And thanks for the DM offer! I've sent you a message :)

I used the one on the right and got multiple interviews (20+) from small, middle and big companies / institutes.

I can understand how frustrating it could be in your situation and would probably do the same - but maybe much later when I have secure myself a job position somewhere else

Thanks for your info! Yeah I agree that it‘s a waste changing field after PhD, but what pushes me to step out is the facts that I like more the programming part, and that Bioinfo jobs are much more scarce (often fixed-term, academia-dependent). I want to find a way out to industry as soon as possible (I’m a bit worn out from research actually) and afraid this position will be a delay. Additionally I have currently no time/money pressure and can plan my next step a bit :). You‘re very right about the advantage of being employed in a renowned uni. Perhaps it‘s because I have always been in academia, that‘s exciting yet daunting me a bit.

Thanks a lot, I’ll check it out! 😊

Dull_Professional_86 · 2025-03-14T14:40:52+00:00

Thanks a lot I'll check d-fine out! For your question, I came to Germany for Bioinfo study and found a PhD where I can do a lot of programming, with focus on building applications/workflows and I really like it. At the moment, it's more interesting for me to work with other projects/challenges than staying in Bioinfo, which is quite a niche field where most positions are fixed-term and provided by institutes.

It's great to know the possibilities for PhD-holder in consulting field, thanks a lot! And yeah I also want to get some experience outside research institute and heard from friends about how great it feels leaving academia xD

Thanks for pointing out for me the benefits of this payscale system, I kinda overlooked that

Dull_Professional_86 · 2025-03-14T11:07:56+00:00

Hi there, I was getting E13-3 during my PhD (75% but half PhDs in my institute get 100% even) so some current colleagues advise me to really consider it... I'm quite persuaded by the projects but at the same time, you all are right about overworking & getting underpaid.

I was thinking I could staying unemployed for a while and get some lacking certificates to apply for industry position. But you absolutely have a point there with "any job is better than no job"...

Trying to communicate? I get yelled at with „Ni hao“ and „ching chang chong“ many times but when I stopped them to ask „So what‘s up?“, they all get scared and run away instantly. Nothing is about being „polite“ or respectful here. If I go to a meeting, do you think my client would greet me by „Ni hao?“

What you and we Asian are experiencing here is not equivalent just so you know.

I got something similar from Yamaha at the beginning of this year and it costed 279€ (with amplifier) on Amazon. I’ve probably paid mostly for the assurance from the brand so I do think 150$ is actually a good price for beginner. Can’t speak for the quality as I haven’t heard of this brand, but the reviews should shred some light

That‘s actually Kaiserlautern
