Bio grad targets CS: Learn Python for bioinformatics or niche tech roles.

Published on 10/31/2025 Hiring & Talent Acquisition Insights

Despite concerns about the current tech market and AI, the user's background in biology (Bachelor's degree from 9 years ago) and interest in logic and CS create a unique opportunity, particularly in interdisciplinary fields like bioinformatics. While the days of easily landing digital nomad jobs with 'a little Python' might be gone, dedicated self-study in Python combined with a biology background could lead to specialized roles in biotech, health tech, or research where computational skills are highly valued. Focusing on areas like data analysis, scripting for biological data, or even machine learning applications in life sciences could be a viable path. RTO (Return to Office) is a factor, so digital nomad aspirations might need adjustment, but niche tech roles remain.
