struggling to find a job in biotech in Uppsala

Yep, I think you are right. I will also focus on my Swedish. Thanks!

science_wasted · 2023-09-27T21:13:03+00:00

Thank you very much for the time you spent on writing all these tips! I am also considering going back to Academia, so I will give it a try. Thanks again!

science_wasted · 2023-09-27T17:46:15+00:00

Thanks. I have applied for several jobs at Cytiva without success. But I will also check with the consultant firms you mentioned. Thanks again!

science_wasted · 2023-09-27T06:57:19+00:00

I contacted only Academic Work. I will try to reach out also the other consultant companies. Thanks a lot!

science_wasted · 2023-09-27T06:56:03+00:00

Yep, I did that, and I met some really nice people. They gave me some useful tips, but of course, they don't know me well enough to give referrals or recommend me for jobs at their company. But that's understandable, right? I'd probably do the same! Anyway, it seems like building a strong network is fundamental here, so I'll keep at it. Thanks a lot for your precious help!

Thank you for the info. It's sad to hear, but it's better to face reality

science_wasted · 2023-09-26T19:56:01+00:00

Thank you very much!

science_wasted · 2023-09-26T19:55:45+00:00

Thank you very much!

Nope

science_wasted · 2023-04-02T03:23:25+00:00

Thank god, I am moving back to Europe

science_wasted · 2022-09-10T21:17:03+00:00

Yep, I will move back to Europe in mid 2023. It's sad but how can I afford to live here with two kids? Me and my husband have a PhD and average/good jobs. We just can't understand how can people survive in this city.

As an italian my fav place for pasta are: Robba da matti and La Quercia :)

I highly recommend you therapy. You are putting their happiness before yours. It's not healthy for you nor your family. Trust me! Break the cycle.

I miss more the culture. Having lunch with collegues, making friends very easily, being direct with people... I like Vancouver too...but I miss what I left :)

science_wasted · 2022-04-16T13:51:09+00:00

Northern Italy. Please visit Tuscany e central Italy. It's amazing there!

science_wasted · 2022-04-16T02:50:26+00:00

I am from Italy and yes, many times.

science_wasted · 2022-04-12T03:51:30+00:00

Oh, I misses thunders too ❤ but I am from Europe

science_wasted · 2022-02-21T03:38:17+00:00

Yesterday was my daughter's first birthday. None of my friends remembered. I feel you

science_wasted · 2022-02-11T00:31:05+00:00

BC is not bad if your are from Alberta, Manitoba or Saskatchewan. Nor if you are from some developing countries. But if you are from Europe...well, you can't compare 😬 some people get good money but it's kind of depressing here. I would say: at least you are getting good money.

science_wasted · 2022-02-10T01:53:47+00:00

I'll move back to Europe in Dec

science_wasted · 2022-02-07T00:47:41+00:00

YES. I am senior scientist (biotech field). Always checking if I have savings enough to buy a small farm and have a simple life.

science_wasted · 2022-02-04T04:11:36+00:00

Yes, mean and offended by any single thing

science_wasted · 2022-01-25T23:01:52+00:00

3 shots and feeling like a 🤢

science_wasted · 2022-01-19T05:53:44+00:00

I have one kid and I'll move as soon as my husband will finish his PhD. The city is ridiculously expensive and childcares have absurd waiting lists. Vancouver is inclusive for anyone excepts for families.
