400 billion suns posted:I have wanted to be in the biotech/research industry for a long time now, but am having trouble getting so much as a rejection letter for an entry level job (I am in California- North Bay Area.) I am signed up with several scientific staffing agencies, but that has so far only yielded one temp stint at a winery lab (which was a great experience but not my career goal) and NO hookups with biotech companies. Quoting this post from a few pages back because I'm in the exact same boat. I'm graduating with a degree in microbiology in June and have ~ 2 years of mol bio lab experience. Somehow, I'm completely invisible to potential employers.

Is it normal to feel pressure to work 8-6? I feel really guilty leaving at 5 when everyone else is still working in lab.

who cares posted:That's the way it was at my last job where I was a salaried research assistant in an academic lab. People acted weird if I left before 6:00 and the pressure to be there for 10 hours a day ended up causing me a lot of stress. It felt like a daily competition to prove who was the most dedicated and it sucked. I ended up quitting and getting a job in a lab that is much more laid back. I'm a research assistant in an industry lab. Sometimes, if it's only 4 but I have nothing else useful to do, I start looking for stuff to do just so I can look busy.
