I just moved to BC as a PR and I'm looking for a job. I used to work in academic research in the UK, specifically stem cell research, and I used to make £43K in London, that's CAD$75K. What salary range do you think I should be accepting on this job market? Am I the only one struggling to find a job?

Please don't tell me I shouldn't have come. I moved to be close to my family and I'm going to keep trying until I can no longer do it.

RA's in Toronto wouldn't make over 60k, specially if it's a lab that is academically involved in any way. If it's the industry, maybe 75-80k max and that's a hard ceiling.

Use your skills and leverage your network to get into biotech or pharma in the industry. Academia is an absolutely underpaid profession here and you're completely dependant on your PI/ PIs with no growth opportunities or learning structure for career progression.

Probably the same if not a little less, depending on experience and credentials

Reach out to UBC and/or stemcell technologies

Yep all done, and still trying!! 🤞🏻
There's a hiring freeze with biotech companies, stem cell technologies said to wait 6 months for new openings...
