What are job opportunities after M.Sc in biotechnology?
I have spent over 12+ years in graduate education and working in companies across US and India. In my opinion, after an undergraduate degree in biotechnology, I think there are plenty of opportunities to go after that most students/faculty oversee. Most faculty in biotechnology think that, the next steps after an undergraduate degree is to go for Phd/Msc. I strongly disagree with this.In addition to courses such as Master`s/Phd inBiotechnology, Genetics, Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, Pharmacology etc…I would suggest you to also look at the following options…Patent Agent/Lawyer/Attorney (Biotech + Legal Experience/Degree)Management (Biotech + Experience + Good MBA Degree)Biomedical/Biomechanical Engineer ((Biotech + Experience/Degree in Bio related Product Engineering)Bioprocess Engineer (Biotech + Experience/Specialization in downstream processing). This area has lot of potential.Clinical Research Related Jobs (Biotech + Experience/Specialization in Clinical Trials)Clinical Data Analysts (Biotech + Experience/Specialization in SAS/R/SPSS)Bioinformatics (Biotech + Specialization in Bioinformatics)Sales & Marketing-Biomedical Equipments/Assays (Biotech + Experience in Salesand there are many more…..Also with good experience you can also look at entrepreneurship as an option. There are lot of funding available from the Indian Government to promote biotech startups.Please join the conversation at the Biotechnology Jobs & Graduate Education Forum if you have any questions related to higher education or have any questions related to which field to choose in Biotechnology/ Biomedical/ Bioengineering,To set up a consulting call, you can reach out to me anytime at ^Prashant - Talkwise
Should I go to the University of Toronto, or the University of Waterloo?
Disclaimer, I was a UWaterloo grad. I'm in software development and I did a lot of hiring for Amazon as a bar raiser. I do about 100 in-person interviews a year. Over the years, I've done countless undergrad campus events at Waterloo and UofT. Both at the internship level and for full-time positions.The metrics aren't really even close. Waterloo wins hands down. When we do these events, we don't walk into the interviews with a set number of job openings, we would offer jobs to all the students we're interviewing if they met the bar. Typically we would interview 32 candidates over the course of 3 days. I'd be lucky if we walked away from UofT with 5 offers to students. At Waterloo, anything less than 15 offers would be a shock and failure. The Waterloo students are on a different preparation level. They have seen more problems (maybe even these types of interview problems given how many interviews they typically do), but even their experience, how they carry themselves, and coding maturity is evident. I can't recall how many times I had to help a UofT candidate write a silly for-loop, teach them how to diagram something, or remind them how hashing works. During interviews at UofT I often feel like I'm handholding them through the interview. The technical bar for university hires is relatively low vs industry hires, if the student gets data structures and algorithms and can code up their solution, they're pretty much a shoe in unless they make a mess of everything or are really a hell bent on disagreeing. I often walk away from UofT and wonder, is it lack of interview preparation or did they really teach them so little?Granted that being said, UofT student performance is no worse than most other schools I've done interview campus events at. Maybe a bit better than Ohio State, but seriously it isn't close to Waterloo. If your desire is to learn about software development, go to Waterloo. Sign up for software eng or comp sci (not CE, EE, or SE). You'll be in a tech community, UofT just isn't the same you're not always surrounded by that community and a city with that type of vibe that will help you develop into a better developer. Mind you, I hated my time at Waterloo, I spent a lot of hours studying, but in hindsight it was definitely worth it. 5 years goes by fast.
