I recently got in a disagreement with my PI and came to a mutual decision to end my PhD. I have over 3 years of wet lab experience: i can independantly carry out qpcr, DNA Extraction, electrophoresis, SDS-PAGE, Restriction digestion cloning, PER ASSays, primary cell culture, HPLC, GCMS and even more. I have 2 publications in above average journals. My masters GPA was 4.0/4.0. All that said, I am struggling to get even interviewed for jobs in canada. I have a PR so that is not the issue. Pls Help

Strongly recommend you finish your PhD. Not having it will hold you back.

If that's not an option you should at least look into turning your work to date into a research masters. And publish anything else you can.

Would your committee support you joining another lab? I moved to a different lab in my department, started an unrelated thesis project, and graduated 3 years later. My committee was very understanding.
