No, it does not. It pays better than a lot of scientists in the wet lab, however.
I have to do contract work as a data engineer (which pays about 60% more hourly than my bioinfo job) so I can live a decent life.
Biotech pays people like dumb-fuck children when you account for the amount of education required. Damn, it is interesting, though, which is what keeps me here.
End goal is to have my own company in biotech, which is why I contract to build up a nest egg for eventual entrepreneurial pursuits.
Many people with PhD’s in computational bio/bioinformatics in HCOL areas are bringing in <130k/year. It’s really bad.
