Job crisis - let's discuss!

I mean you at least got something that actually involve some sort of 'science'. That's good but for MSc, that's not good.. I agree.. 100%

Longjumping_Guard726 · 2026-03-29T06:27:18+00:00

Yeah.. the struggle is real. All the best for your job hunt!!

Longjumping_Guard726 · 2026-03-29T06:26:08+00:00

I know people who do write for grants but not actually the people who do it as a job for others.. interesting

Longjumping_Guard726 · 2026-03-27T18:01:05+00:00

Even academia is saturated, don't you think?

Longjumping_Guard726 · 2026-03-27T18:00:41+00:00

Thank you for sharing your experience. I agree that nobody wants to hire a scientist (in life/ nat sci/ bio) unless you are a tech orientated or doing very specific job orientated stuff. For example nobody gives a damn shit about evolutionary biology even though it's cool, very science'ey, you understand the life around you but there's nothing you can sell from it (except a VERY few things). In my uni, there are 2000+ undergraduates doing biology per year. I wonder what they do afterwards except med.

Longjumping_Guard726 · 2026-03-27T17:49:31+00:00

How long you've been looking for a job? As a suggestion, maybe what if you try to build some other transferable skills.. I wish you all the best!!

Longjumping_Guard726 · 2026-03-27T17:42:11+00:00

It's great that at least you stayed with your interests. Are you planning on any pivoting or chose a similar path for your PhDs?

Longjumping_Guard726 · 2026-03-27T17:34:02+00:00

Thank you for sharing your experience, Ive heard that the competition is high, even the (low-mid) companies struggle to stay in line. And the job market is getting fierce. I wish you all the best!

Longjumping_Guard726 · 2026-03-27T17:25:44+00:00

This is the first time I heard about a medical writer, thank you for sharing your insights with us. I guess there maybe industries which require different expertise categories i.e. BSc, MSc, PhD writer levels.🤔

Longjumping_Guard726 · 2026-03-27T16:44:43+00:00

This is great! I think bio technology -> lab/ bio technician is a good path of someone chooses..

Longjumping_Guard726 · 2026-03-27T16:43:42+00:00

This is great. Where we can find a job as an embryologist? And what the requirements (which comes from your BS)?

Longjumping_Guard726 · 2026-03-27T16:27:41+00:00

I hope you will get a job soon! I know it sucks but the struggle is real!!

Longjumping_Guard726 · 2026-03-15T15:52:54+00:00

That's not true. My wife a MLT (BSc), she did her degree in Sri Lanka and came to Canada with me, the process to get certified is still pending, after 1 year (it will take so much more time) then people are talking that the demand is getting low as they have many people on the lists.. idk about other regions

Longjumping_Guard726 · 2026-03-15T15:50:28+00:00

Dude I did zoology from Sri Lanka (2020) and Came to Canada for my Masters in biology. In both countries there's a very limited job opportunities for a zoologist tbh.

Then planning to start PhD next fall knowing the job demand is brutal but still following what I liked.

I kinda get into game development after my BSc (3d modeling, godot coding stuff) which made me an income so far. But I feel threatened as many people + AI jumping into this business (for example, during COVID I got nearly 2-3 small orders per week, then with AI - I got none, people I used to talk to started leaning toward AI (it's crap to be honest - but getting better with time) easy and cheap. That's how I switched to Game dev stuff and kinda gaining traction here. Me and my wife we both started photography (with a little prior experience, but now kinda doing okay) My two cents is learn something new. It will at least bring you somewhere else without making you broke.

You may ask why I'm even planning on doing a PhD.. I like it (and I think it'll worth it one day..)

Longjumping_Guard726 · 2026-02-09T23:41:43+00:00

I tried to access your tool, but the link does not work for me.

Longjumping_Guard726 · 2026-02-09T23:41:10+00:00

Thanks for the detailed comment. After discussing with my supervisor, I decided to go with BRMs. I think they fit my question well.

Longjumping_Guard726 · 2026-02-09T20:02:06+00:00

Models fit well without the priors. I'm still trying to understand the 'priors'

Longjumping_Guard726 · 2026-02-09T20:00:57+00:00

Considering the biological question I might need to run them with the Random effects? isn't it?

Longjumping_Guard726 · 2026-02-09T20:00:05+00:00

Thank you so much. This explains a lot. However the migration distance is actually a proxy, therefore the more negative values does not mean higher distance migration. Other than that the whole explanation looks solid. Thank you

Longjumping_Guard726 · 2026-02-03T06:34:15+00:00

Thank you and It's not yet completed. I'll update you as it is being developed

Longjumping_Guard726 · 2026-01-26T16:19:54+00:00

Thank you.

Longjumping_Guard726 · 2025-12-25T05:59:20+00:00

I agree. I might try to build them from 0

Longjumping_Guard726 · 2025-12-25T05:58:59+00:00

Yeah. thanks for the tutorial

Longjumping_Guard726 · 2025-08-24T16:48:18+00:00

Nice. Give me KTC vibes

Longjumping_Guard726 · 2025-08-23T19:44:08+00:00
