I just love you and your spirit. And it is because of you that i got courageous to learn bioinformatics slowly as am a masters in zoology but i love it and this transition is painful still im trying mam. Thankyou and please keep motivating like this.
Thanks for your kind words! 💖 that’s fantastic that you’ve started, especially whilst focusing on your zoology masters. Keep at it, and future you will be very grateful 👍
My owners spray me with a bottle when I jump on the table, and it makes a "hiss" sound. 😹💯💫 "bad cat!" They say. Worst feline behavior. Well as Socrates might say, claim to know nothing, and be open to learn everything. It is easy to get cozy with a tech stack I feel you on that. Python lacks verbosity and has great libraries and package management. Those pythons can snake through those pipelines. 😹💯 You may be a plumber after all George. 💙 Appreciate your insights.
I dont want to be disrespectful or anything but i want to ask you a question. I have 2 bachelors degree clinical medicine and software engineering, i really want to become bioinf but compared to data analytics/ML engineer the salary is way too low for a bioinf. Experienced ML engineers(5-6 years of experience )can earn 150-500k depending upon location . So is the low pay a myth or experienced bioinf earn same as ML engineers ?
Hiya, not disrespectful at all, it’s important to talk about money. As always industry roles in companies pay 2 or even 3 times more than salaries in academia (in the UK at least) whether that’s for a bioinformatician or for a principle software engineer. Software engineering is where the big money is, especially in industry with the higher salaries! Engineering roles pay more. Period. Bioinformatics doesn’t pay as much a software engineering, but it pays more than post docs and wet lab scientists. Bioinformatics is a great Segway into computer science jobs coming from a biology background if you want to leave the biology behind. You could be a bioinformatics engineer which pays slightly higher. It depends what your skill set is/what you enjoy/what you’re willing to give up. You talk of ML engineers vs Bioinformaticians. ML engineers in tech are paid more, but if you compared a ML engineer working in biotech to a Bioinformatics Engineer working in biotech they’re in the same pay bracket. Hope this helps! Personally I’d find software engineering too boring and imagine I would be unmotivated and unlikely to progress up the pay ladder anyway! But if you want higher pay for that kind of role then go for it!
