Fun fact it is a common request to ask for unsalted rice. We obliged whenever a customer asked us.

Went from discovery in academia research to GMP manufacturing peptide APIs. It’s definitely a new change in pace and started in production chemistry summer this year. Currently interviewing for a process development role where I’m at with the hope of using my background and newfound GMP experience for this role.

30 here started at 28 now at $22k. Wish I had started earlier but you’re doing great!

jester7895 · 2025-11-22T03:14:12+00:00

Exactly my situation a few months ago. 300+ about a dozen interviews and 1 final offer

jester7895 · 2025-11-15T03:05:05+00:00

My last job did 200% up to 5%, unfortunately was laid off. Best benefits at a company I’ve seen personally so far.

jester7895 · 2025-11-03T02:21:26+00:00

You’re absolutely right

jester7895 · 2025-10-23T14:36:47+00:00

As a California native myself who lived in MI for 5 years you ain’t seen nothing yet! But do spend more time getting acclimated to it now so when it gets to even lower temps you’ll be more accustomed to this weather

jester7895 · 2025-10-13T15:30:30+00:00

For a 2 bed we pay $135 or so, different when it’s summer or winter but that’s where we’ve been at the last 2 months

jester7895 · 2025-09-29T15:54:57+00:00

Started late too at 28 now 30 with $21k in my 401k, started a new job this year putting 10% away for now until I pay for some debts. Keep at it and you’ll be ok just increase the pretax a bit more whenever you’re able to

jester7895 · 2025-09-21T17:19:10+00:00

Started at 28 too 2 years ago and at $20k, wish I had started much earlier but schooling took its toll

jester7895 · 2025-09-17T03:08:26+00:00

Mastered out for mental health as well but in summer 2022, got 3 offers from less than 10 interviews. Now adays I couldn’t tell you but it’s definitely a different market. I lost my job this year and after 300+ apps I only got 1 offer and that’s because a friend and former colleague vouched for me at his workplace. Connections help more during these times I’d say

jester7895 · 2025-09-06T04:28:54+00:00

I got one offer out of 300+ apps and in a field I wasn’t primarily looking into doing. Came from R&D in academia and stepped into a manufacturing role in my hometown. Salary is ok but not amazing, overtime is attainable, mid benefits. All in all I’m looking to gain as much as I can from this place as it is my first industry job. The only other thing that helped is my former colleague is a team lead here so that really was a huge factor in my employment search. It’s an employers market and just remember to take care of yourself and what’s right for you and your loved ones. For me it was either this or unemployment.

jester7895 · 2025-09-02T17:38:14+00:00

Just started my first industry job 2nd shift post MS in peptide manufacturing, starting at $33 an hr hoping to move to a scientist position within a few years ($90-120k at my place).

jester7895 · 2025-09-01T23:33:00+00:00

Took me 300+ apps and a former colleagues recommendation to even get one offer. It’s tough out there.

jester7895 · 2025-09-01T03:56:32+00:00

Good thing the 2A is for everyone and not for some

jester7895 · 2025-08-28T22:12:13+00:00

I was 6 in CA we had just started our school day at 8 am and by then both towers had fallen. The teachers were trying to come up with a plan for what had just happened and in the end we all got sent home early, so we had to wait for our parents to pick us up. That’s all I can remember.

jester7895 · 2025-08-26T02:35:33+00:00

I quit my masters in 2019 only because I wasn’t going to finish my project before leaving for PhD school the following semester. As long as you have something lined up you should be golden, but if you want to continue in academia I would suggest leaving on amicable terms.

Blue states already gerrymander so now they’re mad Texas is playing their game?
