Hi everyone! I’m a Biochemistry student exploring career paths at the intersection of life sciences, IT, data and AI. I’d love to hear from people who studied Biochemistry or a similar life science degree, then realised they were more drawn to tech and moved into a related Master’s. How did you make the transition? Did it help with job hunting, and what would you do differently?

Should I leave my first permanent job as a team leader of 4 DPs in a FMCG business (only been there for 4 months) to join a huge Tech business for a 12months contract?

They offer me 60% more money than my permanent role. Circa 2000 dollars every month in my pocket

However, I am worried if I accept the tech role and I do not become permanent I will be looking again for a job in 12-24 months and my CV won't be showing a managerial position. Won't be showing any progress.
