In Seattle, very much over the FAANG life and would like to pivot to medicine/medtech. So far I'm looking at Allen Institute, Fred Hutch, and Intellectual Ventures, but I don't know much about them including TC. It's clearly a drop, but I'm looking for some solid numbers to estimate just how much of a drop. Is anyone familiar with TC/benefits at any of these places? I know there will be a significant drop from FAANG (current TC:🎄fiddy) but I don't know how much. Glassdoor has salary numbers but not for SWE or ML positions, and I don't know whether TC > salary at these places. Also what is the talent level at these places? Similar to FAANG? if not how would you describe it? Any other places I should be looking at? I'm open to relocating but not to the Bay Area.
Verily, Calico? Also, unless you stay in health divisions of tech companies (like Apple health, Google health etc), expect a drastic reduction in salary - much like stepping out of the tech bubble into the real world.
Do they have verily/calico headcount outside the bay area? That's my main issue with Google/Alphabet health jobs. I'm ok with a TC drop for a couple years, for something like this. But it depends how much the drop is.
Check out adaptive biotechnologies, DM me for referral
Looking and will DM if it seems like a possible role fit. Are the Glassdoor salary numbers pretty accurate? Also are they doing much with ML/AI? So far I mostly see frontend.
Doesn’t Microsoft have medical ml going on? They keep spamming LinkedIn with health content and AI
I will lake a look, thanks!
Fuck no don't leave tech. I moved to tech from biomed. DONT LEAVE TECH. DONT BE A FOOL.
I'd be very happy to hear your rationale, especially if it's more than just TC. Feel free to PM me if you'd rather not post. I am very much over optimizing ad/shopping click rates, video watch time, and other such bullshit. Most 'integrity' projects are also less than fulfilling. That's a major motivation for me, but I'm not going to make any rash decisions and any moves are at least four months out.
kbox is right. I moved from biotech to tech and was so glad to have gotten out of the biotech hellhole.
I would expect at least a 50% reduction.
