M.S neuroscience with 4 yrs industry experience , how do I advance? Feeling like I hit a ceiling as a non PhD
Desperate for a job after a layoff ( I always did contract positions) , I took an associate scientist 2 position. And I’m not learning anything. I’m given no project independence even though in previous jobs I’ve designed, researched, and completed successful experiments. Now I’m treated like a pair of hands. Doing basic Elisa’s , western blots, and cell culturing. Not allowed to even do Sirna treatments , LV.. even though I’ve done this before. I just collect at the end and do basic qpcr. I don’t even present my data.. the RS of the projects presents my data. I’ve tried to talk to my boss about this but nothing has changed. Feeling like I put myself in this mess since I accepted a job I’m overqualified for.. been here 1.5 yrs. I don’t have a PhD but there has to be more for a MS out there??
