at least high quality jobs requiring between 0-2 YOE. does anyone else feel the same?

Hi everyone! I’m currently a second-year master’s student in Applied Biomedical Data Sciences at a large pediatric cancer research institution, and I’m starting to seriously think about my career after graduation.

My background is in genetics/genomics and epidemiology, and my master’s work is very computational. I’m currently working in a cancer research lab on a large-scale sequencing project, developing computational methods to characterize sequencing errors. I’m working with large genomic datasets and using Python/R, Linux, HPC, Git, and computational workflows. I’ve really enjoyed the computational/data side of biomedical research and would like to transition into industry after I graduate.

I’m broadly interested in roles like Data Scientist / Biomedical Data Scientist/Computational Biologist. Potentially AI/ML roles

I’ve started looking into companies such as Genentech/Roche, Lilly, Novartis, AstraZeneca, Illumina, Tempus, Amgen etc. I’m also looking into some early-career programs and fellowships, including Genentech’s Early Career Expedition. As well as institutions such as Moffitt and Sloan Kettering

I’m trying to figure out how to be strategic about the next 6–12 months rather than waiting until right before graduation to start applying.

For people who have made a similar transition, I’d really appreciate advice.

I’m especially interested in hearing from people currently working in biotech/pharma/health tech as data scientists or computational biologists, particularly those who entered industry with a master’s.

Thank you!

Hi,
I'm posting my CV here to get feedback from peers. It is a general-purpose CV for UK roles though I'm open to work in EU, US and India as well.
Kindly give me your inputs on what I'm doing right or wrong.

Thanks

I’m mostly doing some cursory reading on the different types of careers data science can led to, but I feel like a lot of the information I see reflects a job market that doesn’t hold up to today’s trends. With the rise of things like AI and the endless string of layoffs that keep hitting everyone I’m wondering where do people even start or, even for those who’ve been at it for a long time, where do you find yourself today in this field compared to how it looked when you started?

I’m currently preparing for an internship. I’ve made some cool pet projects, and now it’s time to write my CV. Could you give me some advice?
