Hey everyone,
I will be applying to med school and I am currently working at a biotech company. I have the option to continue working there or to apply to a research fellowship at NIH. Unfortunately, I have to decide if I want to continue my job contract (giving me a permanent job with nice, comfy beni's) or take a chance, and end it and apply to the NIH deal. Pro of biotech: more money. Pros of NIH: research experience with top person, chance to publish.
My questions: Which do you think would be more valuable to an ad com? How about a residency committee? I might also mention this isn't a start-up; this is the biggest biotech in the world.
Please let me know what your thoughts are regarding this.
Thanx.
