Career Rajaz: A Journey Through Careers and Choices - Career Paths in Bioinformatics and Beyond

#Career Path seminar series at IMBIM, #Uppsala University, organised by PhD association (IPhA).
In this talk, I explore the journey of building a meaningful career, particularly in #bioinformatics and #datascience, while balancing the worlds of #academia and #industry. The presentation is anchored around the concept of #Rajaz-a poetic rhythm that reflects the flow of life and its continuous evolution.
Key highlights include:
The "What, How, and Why" of learning during a PhD.
A practical comparison between academia and industry, focusing on #skills, challenges, and opportunities.
Addressing #jobseeker’s bias and the importance of focusing on skills over #certificates.
The role of portfolios (#GitHub, #LinkedIn, blogs) in showcasing applied skills and projects.
A reminder that the real success lies in adapting, #learning continuously, and finding your own rhythm.
This presentation emphasizes the value of reflection, adaptability, and taking action to create a career path aligned with your aspirations-because life, after all, is not a rehearsal.
