- Abstract
The article offers practical advice from academia and the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries experts for job-hunting scientists. Academic scientists have a degree of freedom, but need to support themselves through grant writing in a very competitive environment. Scientists in big pharma have the security generated from existing product revenues, but they may be subject to layoffs if a project fails or the company changes direction. Biotechnology scientists have the excitement and promise of great financial rewards, but work very hard and have little security.
